Fire Caused by Drone Strike Near U.S. Consulate in Dubai Fully Extinguished
DUBAI, Mar 3: An Iranian drone slammed into a parking lot outside the U.S. consulate in Dubai, sparking a small fire, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Although the pace of Iranian missile and drone strikes has slowed, Tuesday’s near-miss shows that Iran is still able to get munitions past American interceptors. Rubio told reporters at the U.S. Capitol that all of the consulate personnel in Dubai had been accounted for. “We began drawing down personnel from our diplomatic facilities in advance of this,” Rubio said.
