Multiple Rockets Strike US Embassy in Baghdad in Early Morning Attack
The U.S. embassy in Baghdad was targeted by mortar fire in an early morning attack, causing minor material damage but no casualties. The attack, believed to be carried out by Iran-aligned militias, struck the heavily fortified Green Zone that houses the embassy and other government buildings. This is the first attack on the embassy since the Israel-Hamas conflict began, which has heightened tensions in the region. The U.S. military has reported a total of 78 attacks on American facilities in recent weeks, with retaliatory airstrikes conducted against Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria.
