US Embassy in Baghdad Targeted by Rockets and Missiles Amid Regional Tensions

The US Embassy in Baghdad was targeted by rocket and missile attacks amid heightened regional tensions linked to the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Security forces intercepted several projectiles, including Katyusha rockets and drones, with one missile reportedly striking the embassy's helipad. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attacks as terrorist acts and ordered investigations, though no group has claimed responsibility. Similar strikes have occurred previously amid Iran-aligned militia activity in Iraq.
