A drone strike sparked a fire on Tuesday, March 4, near the US consulate in Dubai, as Iran continued retaliation strikes in the Gulf in response to the Israeli-American offensive. According to an Agence France-Presse reporter at the scene, police forces set up a security perimeter around the area. The Dubai media office announced on X that the fire had been “fully extinguished.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the strike, which he said hit “a parking lot adjacent” to the building. “All personnel are accounted for,” he told reporters.
