The US Embassy in Tel Aviv suffered minor damage in the latest missile strikes by Iran on Israel. The U.S. Ambassador to Israel confirmed the damage to the embassy in Tel Aviv.
The missile struck the building in the vicinity of the U.S. Embassy. No major damage was reported to the personnel and the staff working at the embassy. “Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near the embassy branch in Tel Aviv, but no injuries to US personnel,” the ambassador said.
Video footages show that the glasses of the building were broken as a result of the explosion in the area. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has strictly warned Iran not to attack the military assets of the USA and the Middle East. Reports also claim that the US President had denied the calls of Israel to join its war against Iran.
“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” he wrote in a Truth Social post at 12:32 a.m. on June 15. “However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict.”

According to the latest media reports, U.S. President Donald Trump opposed Israel’s attempt to kill Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Reports claim that Israel had an operational window to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader at the start of the recent military escalation between Israel and Iran.
Israel has already shared evidence and illustrative proofs showing how Mossad launched attacks on Iran from within the Iranian territory.
“We communicated to the Israelis that President Trump is opposed to that. The Iranians haven’t killed an American, and discussion of killing political leaders should not be on the table,” the Axios outlet quoted a US official as saying.
However, during an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Benjamin Netanyahu did not deny or accept the reports by Reuters.
“There are so many false reports of conversations that never happened, and I’m not going to get into that,” he said. “But I can tell you I think we do what we need to do. We will do what we need to do, and I think the United States knows what is good for the United States, and I’m just not going to get into it.”
