00:00.
00:18Iranian drones have now reached the homes of top U.S. officials.
00:23Multiple drones were detected flying over Fort Leslie J. McMahon in Washington, D.C.,
00:30where U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reside.
00:37This places the two key figures leading America's diplomatic and military response against Iran directly under aerial surveillance.
00:47The drones appeared over the highly secured base in recent days.
00:51Their origin has not been officially confirmed, and they were neither intercepted nor brought down.
00:57The incident triggered an immediate response, with high-level meetings at the White House and discussions over relocating both officials
01:06for security reasons.
01:07Military bases across the United States have raised alert levels, and a global security alert has been issued to American
01:15diplomatic posts worldwide.
01:17The development comes amid rapidly escalating tensions in the Middle East.
01:23The current conflict began on February 28, when U.S. and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes on Iranian targets, marking
01:32the start of a full-scale confrontation.
01:34Since then, the war has expanded across the region, with Iran targeting U.S. bases and allies, including strikes in
01:44Kuwait and attacks on key Gulf energy infrastructure.
01:47On March 13, the United States carried out major airstrikes on Iran's Harg Island, a critical oil export hub, hitting
01:56dozens of military targets.
01:59Just days later, on March 18, Israeli strikes hit Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest, in a move
02:07that directly targeted Iran's economic backbone.
02:10In retaliation, Iran launched missile attacks across the Gulf, including a major strike on Qatar's Roslofen energy complex, shaking global
02:21energy markets and escalating fears of a wider war.
02:24Now, with drones appearing over Washington, the conflict appears to be entering a new phase.
02:31From energy hubs in the Gulf to the homes of America's top officials, the battlefield may no longer be limited
02:38to the Middle East.
02:39And the biggest question now is, how far this war is willing to go?
