We all are abiding by the same rules.
Jennifer, what do we know?
Well, Jessica, we've confirmed with an official source that in fact it
It was an Iranian drone that struck the station, the CIA station in Riyadh.
It was part of that U.S.
embassy compound, part of that drone strike last night that led to damage at the embassy.
This is certainly a symbolic victory for the IRGC.
Nobody was injured.
Nobody was at the embassy at the time.
The Washington Post was the first to report on the incident and that it was, in fact, the CIA station that was targeted and hit.

They can take out the missile launchers and even the missile stockpiles, but they have thousands, if not tens of thousands of these drones, and anyone can put them in the back of a truck and fire them.
These are really the new suicide bombs of the next phase in the Middle East, and they're going to be a problem
for some time.
Well, I think in terms of ballistic missiles, the long range missiles, the cruise missiles, I think that the U.S.
and Israelis
have been very effective in taking out the missile launchers and hunting down some of the mobile launchers.
