Iran-backed militias strike US Embassy in Baghdad, Middle East military bases
|
[NYPOST] Iran-backed militias fired a barrage of rockets at the US Embassy in Baghdad on Friday — as enemy groups also launched strikes on American forces in Iraq and Syria, according to defense officials.
Roughly 14 Katyusha rockets were fired around 4:15 a.m. Friday, of which some landed near the embassy’s gates.
No injuries were reported but the attack caused superficial damage to facilities.
No specific militia group had grabbed credit for the strike, but officials believe the perpetrator was an Iran-aligned group, of which there are many in the region.
In a statement, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani spoke out against the attack, saying that "targeting diplomatic missions is something that cannot be justified."
The US military is in Iraq with the consent of its government to continue its anti-ISIS mission.

the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance® grabbed credit for separate attacks Friday on US forces stationed at al-Asaf airbase in western Iraq and the Conoco gas field in eastern Syria.
The strikes continue a string of recurring attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas

conflict broke out in October. Hamas is also backed by Iran.
As of Thursday, there had been about 78 attacks on US forces in the region since Oct. 17 — some of which resulted in minor wounds and traumatic brain injuries, according to Pentagon deputy spokesperson Sabrina Singh.
"I would say that as of Dec. 4, it’s still about 66 of our folks who have received non-serious, non-life-threatening injuries [in the attacks], all who have returned to work," she said.
