Iranian missile shrapnel hits US consul residence in Jerusalem
- Shrapnel from an Iranian missile struck a residential building housing the US Consul in Jerusalem.
- No injuries reported; US condemns Iran’s attacks on civilian and diplomatic sites.
‘Israeli’ media reported that fragments from an Iranian missile landed on a building in Jerusalem where the US Consul resides. The incident occurred Saturday amid recent missile attacks launched by Tehran. Reports did not specify the extent of property damage.
The US State Department confirmed that debris from intercepted missiles struck a residential area, stressing that no diplomatic staff were injured. A spokesperson condemned Iran and its allied militias for targeting civilian, military, and diplomatic infrastructure in the region.
This incident follows over two weeks of heightened military activity after the United States and ‘Israel’ struck Iranian military and infrastructure sites, reportedly causing hundreds of deaths, including the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Tehran launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israeli territory and US interests in the region, causing damage to civilian sites in the Gulf.
