Well, truth be told, your link needs to work, first!!  https://apnews.com/article/iraq-mil...ael-war-80f6739c3ab34662afba316285914e39BEIRUT (AP) — Two drones launched at a base hosting U.S. troops in western Iraq were intercepted Wednesday, a U.S. defense official said. Hours later, an Iraqi militia announced it had launched another drone attack on a second base. No injuries were reported in either incident. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iranian-backed militias, issued a statement afterward claiming responsibility for the two attacks and saying it “heralds more operations” against the “American occupation.” The salvos came at a time of increasing tension and fears of a broader regional conflict in the wake of the latest Hamas-Israel war.

Doesn't sound like it was burned to the ground either.
EDIT: The U.S. embassy said it was aware of protests in the vicinity of the embassy but said the mission was not damaged.
"Unfortunately, violent protesters damaged private property in the surrounding neighbourhood of the embassy, but embassy personnel and facilities remain secure and undamaged," said U.S. embassy spokesperson Jake Nelson."

A couple of square miles in the middle of Tehran needs to become a smoking hole in the ground- - - - -just to show what can happen when Americans get sufficiently pizzed off. No nukes, just a MOAB or three! Of course, Pedo Joe will never have the balls to do that!
