Tel Aviv: The United States embassy branch in Tel Aviv has sustained minor damage following an Iranian missile strike overnight, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed on Monday.

There were no reported casualties among US diplomatic staff, though the building was impacted by the concussive force of nearby explosions.

The incident occurred during a heavy exchange of fire between Iran and Israel, which has left at least 230 people dead in Iran and 13 in Israel, according to respective health ministries. Air raid sirens blared across Tel Aviv as missiles targeted multiple areas, including residential zones and infrastructure.

Ambassador Huckabee noted that while the structure experienced minor damage, no American personnel were harmed. The embassy remains temporarily closed and staff have been ordered to shelter in place, adhering to emergency protocols.

This marks one of the most direct threats to US diplomatic missions in the region since the latest round of hostilities began on June 13, when Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion” against Iranian nuclear and military installations. In retaliation, Iran unleashed a wave of ballistic missiles and drone swarms, escalating fears of a regional spillover.

Meanwhile, at the G7 summit in Canada, US President Donald Trump and other global leaders are expected to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation. Canada is reportedly sounding out nations for a joint statement either urging de-escalation or backing Israel's right to self-defence. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has blamed Iran for the renewed hostilities.

The strike on the US embassy has amplified concerns over the safety of international personnel and the possibility of wider diplomatic fallout. With tensions running high, Washington has reiterated calls for restraint but stopped short of signalling any direct military involvement.
