Rockets fired at US embassy in Iraq
JERUSALEM- AFP
Salvoes of rockets were launched at the US embassy in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, the mission said, the latest in a flurry of such attacks in response to Israel’s war in Gaza.
There was no claim of responsibility and no reported casualties or damage, but the mission said the attack was “initiated by Iran-aligned militias”.
Since mid-October there have been dozens of rocket or drone strikes by pro-Iran groups against US or coalition forces in Iraq as well as Syria, but the latest attack was the first targeting the US embassy.
Pro-Iran groups in Iraq have justified actions against the US and coalition forces by pointing to American support for Israel.
