US Embassy in Baghdad Was Targeted in Early Morning Rocket Attack
The attack reportedly destroyed the embassy’s C-RAM air defense system “completely,” a system designed to intercept incoming rockets and other projectiles.
No information has yet emerged about casualties, and US authorities have not released a statement regarding the incident.
Tensions in the region have intensified since late February, when US and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes on Iran, resulting in roughly 1,200 fatalities, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has responded with a series of drone and missile attacks against Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations hosting American military forces, escalating the ongoing conflict.
