President Trump declared the U.S. would retaliate "soon" after its embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was struck by two suspected Iranian drones, causing a limited fire and minor material damage.
The attack on the U.S. embassy prompted immediate "shelter in place" notifications for American citizens across key Saudi cities.
This incident was part of a wider wave of Iranian retaliatory strikes across the Gulf, targeting multiple states including the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, in response to U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran's leadership.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
