Three rockets have hit the US Embassy compound in Baghdad, Iraq, leaving one person injured, US officials have confirmed.
According to the US State Department the rocket were fired in the
Baghdad Green Zone, where US Military outposts and the US Embassy is
located.
The US has not put any blame on Iran for the attack and no official
statement had come out from Iran or any of it's military proxies.
The US and Iran have been in a stand off since the US withdrew from
the Iran Nuclear deal in 2018, that was signed by the US, Iran, E.U,
Russia and China.
Early this month, Iranian protesters stormed the US embassy which
prompted the US military to kill Iranian military General Qassem
Soleimani, leading to an Iran military strike on a US base in Iraq that
caused head injuries to some US troops.
Following heightened tensions between both countries, the US called
on the Iraqi government to protect it's bases in Iraq even though the
Iraqi parliament voted on a resolution to oust the American military
from Iraq.
"We call on the Government of Iraq to fulfill its obligations to
protect our diplomatic facilities," a State Department spokesperson said
on Monday in reaction to the rocket attacks.
"Violent acts against our diplomatic facilities are simply unacceptable.
We must ensure the safety of American diplomats, troops and other
Americans in Iraq."
Iraq's Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi, the prime minister of Iraq, speaking about the attack said;
''Iraqi forces have been ordered to "deploy, search, and investigate to
prevent the recurrence of such attacks, and to arrest those who launched
these rockets so that they can be punished."
"The Iraqi government is committed to protecting all diplomatic missions and taking all necessary measures to achieve this."
