Rocket Attack Targeted U.S. Diplomatic Facility In Iraq’s Baghdad

Rocket Attack Targeted U.S. Diplomatic Facility In Iraq’s Baghdad

A United States diplomatic facility in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, came under attack, a U.S. embassy spokesperson said in a statement on September 11.

“At approximately 23:00 on Tuesday, September 10, there was an attack at the Baghdad Diplomatic Services Compound, a U.S. diplomatic facility,” the statement reads. “Fortunately, there are no reported casualties, and we are assessing the damage and its cause. Our assessment is ongoing.”

Security sources told Reuters two rockets landed close to U.S. forces stationed near Baghdad airport at the Camp Victory base.

Kataib Hezbollah, one of the main Iran-backed armed factions in Iraq, said in a statement that the timing of the attack was clearly designed to disrupt a visit to Iraq by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that began on September 11. It called on Iraqi security forces to investigate the attack and to determine who was responsible.

The U.S. maintains a force of some 2,500 troops in Iraq, supposedly to help local security forces fight the remaining cells of ISIS.

Iran-backed armed factions in Iraq have targeted U.S. forces in the country and in neighboring Syria more than 180 times since the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, which is backed by Washington. The attacks slowed down in recent months.

The attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Baghdad also came following reports of a near deal that would see U.S. troops withdrawn from Iraq within two years.

it’s strange, but the amerikunts just don’t seem able to take the hint that they’re not welcome in a country they illegally invaded and completely destroyed. odd.

wrong england created israel you don’t even know the most basic facts charles is king of israel pull your head out of your hole

Mikkelsen

you are a joke

Wallter

with one exception a royal person from the british royal family visited the so called israel. and i think it was charlie boy attending an international conference in tel aviv. and that was only 10 years or so ago and his presence was more or less obligatory. apartfrom that no royal person has ever visited israel despite the jews having worked hard to make it happen!

Wallter

queen elisabet was ince in jordan and from the jordanian side looked at part of the illegally occupied palestine, but that’s it. and supposedly she said one thing and one thing only ‘disgraceful’.!

BunkerDwellers

yeah, like the teen body found on her estate and her pedophile butler and pedophile/child trafficker loving children. nothing to see there!

or like the teen girl invited to a vatican party years ago now whose never been seen again the local families stood vigil at the gates for weeks wanting answers they were just ignored.

nothing they say in public matters they know perfectly well every wordthey say will be repeated and you don’t know if she said it what she meant by it she could have meant how disgraceful of the palestine for opposing the settlements you don’t know

not quite correct lord balfour created the balfour declaration, to “please the king” that led to israels creation. in 1917.

BunkerDwellers

it’s got something to do with the foreign interests of some child trafficking capital in the region, and epstein and a network of pedophiles in power.

Mikkelsen

one thing trump criticized bush for was the fact that they didn’t make enough money pillaging and “rebuilding” iraq. he literally said that they didn’t steal enough iraqi oil. and that the (re)building contracts didn’t go to enough american companies. this was during the 2016 campaign.

BunkerDwellers

he exemplifies the culture of a segment of the population here. extremely arrogant given how the power structure is falling apart. years of such hubris paying off is a hard habit to break, if they even want to try.

Wallter

today the iraqi oil sector is in the hands of baghdad and the kurds get a monthly payment in dollars and china and russia are developing the fields on behalf of baghdad. the us are sidelined quite a bit today, which they don’t like! thus iraqi oil and iranian oil is out of the yankees hands!

Atlx

they don’t need it. usa is number 1 in oil production in the world for the last 6 years. it’s just that they have a refinery capacity problem.

correct and its all lies for purposes of deceit venzaulas got so much more oil than all the others put together that it’s not funny it’s a disgrace how they just lie to the whole world they don’t care. they hate the truth because it destroys all of their “values”.

interestingly i believe the roths child’s ars owners of about two thirds of israel. however i don’t know if its crown lands like north america india australia new zealand canada england a lot of africa or not. as its king you would expect it to be charles crown land but you see the coronation crown is catholic from edward the confessor his orb entitles the owner to take everything jews own by law

Anonymous

the orb of edward entitles its owner to take everything from any jews they want by law. the pope as prince georges, the next king of america after the great reset, godfather gave a replica to granny, for his christening gift but who has the original? one guess, remember queen vikys genealogists told her she was descended from king david. personally i can’t see it.
