US Embassy in Riyadh was empty at the time of Iranian drone strike and there are no injuries, according to an official cited by Fox News

The announcement that the US Embassy in Riyadh was empty during the Iranian drone strike, with no reported injuries, suggests a potential escalation in regional tensions without immediate US casualties. This could lead to increased volatility in oil prices and currencies tied to geopolitical risk, while offering a modest reprieve for US equities. Traders should monitor further developments as they may signal shifts in US foreign policy or military posture in the region.
