A U.S. diplomatic facility, the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, was struck by a suspected retaliatory drone attack on Tuesday, reportedly launched by pro-Iranian militias. Six drones were launched, with five being intercepted and one striking near a guard tower. No injuries were immediately reported. The Iraqi Ministry of Defense condemned drone and missile attacks targeting two Iraqi air bases, emphasizing their sovereignty, but did not mention the U.S. facility strike or Iran directly. The attack is suspected to be the work of militias affiliated with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq. The State Department previously urged Americans to depart from numerous Middle Eastern countries due to escalating regional tensions.
