US embassy in Baghdad attacked as US-Israel war on Iran escalates
AI Summary
On March 7, 2026, the US embassy in Baghdad was attacked with rockets amid escalating regional tensions due to the US-Israeli war on Iran. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attack and ordered security forces to pursue the perpetrators, emphasizing that such actions do not represent the will of the Iraqi people. While no group has claimed responsibility, the attack is the first in the Green Zone since hostilities between the US, Israel, and Iran began. Iran and affiliated Iraqi paramilitary groups, the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), have launched numerous attacks on US facilities in Iraq recently. The PMF, an umbrella organization of mostly Shia armed groups with ties to Iran, has had its bases targeted in Nineveh.
