جزئیات

A missile struck the helipad at the US Embassy compound in Baghdad on Day 15, Iraqi officials confirmed to the Associated Press. The strike reportedly destroyed part of the embassy's air defense system. No casualties were immediately reported. The attack was attributed to pro-Iran Iraqi militias or direct Iranian fire, though no group immediately claimed responsibility. The US Embassy had been targeted multiple times since the war began on February 28, with previous rocket attacks on March 7. The strike came as regional tensions continued to escalate with Iran launching new missile barrages at Israel and IRGC-backed groups attacking Gulf state infrastructure. The embassy renewed its Level 4 security alert for Iraq.
