Shocked and horrified that the Associated Press would share an office building with Hamas in Gaza and place their employees in such risk.

In this day and age I think its pretty common for certain groups to use others as human shields. Examples would be Hezbollah or the Ukrainians storing explosives in populated areas. Other examples closer to home are the ATF and FBI putting their offices inside the upper levels of buildings occupied by other organizations.

Iran is bold enough now to admit to firing 12 missiles at the US consulate in Iraq.

Would they do that if Trump was President?

A dozen ballistic missiles launched from outside Iraq struck the country’s northern Kurdish regional capital Irbil on Sunday.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards later took responsibility for attack, which also targeted the U.S. consulate’s new building.
One civilian was injured, while the missiles caused other material damage.

Well, yeah, attacking an embassy or consulate is considered an act of war. It should be answered by a full out declaration of war and whatever military response is deemed necessary. But Iran knows that we will not do that, based on their last attack on our embassy in Tehran. And speaking of patterns, there was a democrat in office then too.
