EMBASSY THREAT: Tense interception near the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad amid reports Iranian-backed militias were targeting the site. Iraqi security forces say the attacks were the most intense since the beginning of the U.S. and Israel’s military operations against the Iranian regime. The embassy recently issued a security alert urging U.S. citizens in Iraq to leave immediately and avoid approaching the compound.

A wave of drone and rocket attacks targeted the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, Iraqi security sources told Reuters, describing it as the most intense assault since the attacks began with at least five drones used. Video shows at least one drone being hit by projectiles. #iraq #iran #middleeast #drone #trump
