00:00As I came in, I also saw the media reports about Dubai's consulate.
00:04The last update I had with seconds before getting before these cameras was that a drone unfortunately struck a parking
00:10lot adjacent to the chancellery building and then set off a fire in that place.
00:16All personnel are accounted for.
00:18As you're aware, we began drawing down personnel from our diplomatic facilities in advance of this.
00:23In the cases, for example, of Beirut, we basically drew down to bare bones as well as in Baghdad and
00:32Erbil and in a couple other posts as well.
00:35So we've been very fortunate, obviously, but our embassies and our diplomatic facilities are under direct attack from a terroristic
00:42regime.
