The suspected Iranian drone attack on the CIA station located in the US Embassy compound in Saudi Arabia’s capital caused significant structural damage, including a partially collapsed roof and heavy smoke.
Spain on Sunday said it would not allow the United States to use its air bases for operations related to the strikes in Iran, deeming the attacks a violation of international law.
The strike follows months of rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes, renewed U.S.–Iran negotiations, and warnings of retaliation that could engulf the wider Middle East in another dangerous escalation.
