These cases mark yet another attack on American diplomatic posts since the start of Operation Epic Fury. The embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was subject to attack by two Iranian drones, and the U.S. Consulate in Dubai. No one was injured in either case.

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
