No, it's not. An attack on an embassy by a mob, just means that either law and order has broken down in the host country, or the host country is turning a blind eye and/or is complicit. It is, however, a serious diplomatic issue that should be solved.
As things pop off in Israel between the Jews and Hamas, to the north in Lebanon, Hezbollah is working to create its own set of attacks, much of which is being triggered by the IDF’s response in Gaza. Additionally, the United States unfreezing and then refreezing the previously locked-down $6 billion to Iran certainly has not helped the situation as it not only puts US assets at risk abroad and at home, it also puts Israel in a precarious position with the US Navy parked off their coastline. If Iran and Hezbollah are successful in escalating this situation we could find the United States jumping into a war we did not expect in the region (or did we?),
With 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, this situation could very easily spread to every city overnight. So buckle up, as this has the potential to become very large, very quickly. As always, stay frosty and keep that powder dry.
Monkey out.
