BAGHDAD – Several rockets have fallen in the night near the american embassy located in the green area to the high security of Baghdad, reported military sources in the Usa. At the moment we have no news of victims. This is the nineteenth-attack on the interests of the americans in Iraq in nearly four months.
Also some journalists of the AFP have heard strong explosions in the Green Zone of Baghdad, seat of the iraqi institutions and the embassies. The explosion triggered the alarm sirens of the american Embassy, said a source in the diplomatic corps.
missile attacks against soldiers, diplomats, and installations of the united states in Iraq has increased since the end of October. None of the 19 reported attacks from the 28th of October has been claimed, but Washington accuses the armed factions pro-iran of being behind these hostilities. The tensions between Washington and Tehran, both allies of Baghdad, increased at the end of last year and culminated in the killing of the iranian general Qassem Soleimani, on the orders of the american president Donald Trump. The iranians have responded with a rain of missiles in a base in iraq where they are stationed american soldiers, wounding a hundred.
The armed factions of the iraqi pro-iranian, who have lost their leader in the raid against Soleimani, Abu Mehdi al-Mouhandis, since then they have also promised “vengeance” against the United States. The iraqi parliament – where it holds the second block of deputies – has already called for the expulsion of 5.200 american soldiers from the country. And the factions are threatening regularly these troops. One of the factions of the pro-iranian radical of Iraq, Noujaba, wrote on Twitter Saturday that he “has decided to begin the countdown to the sovereignty (of iraq) and the response to the occupation forces in the u.s.,”. “We are closer than the images,” wrote the group again returned to the picture of an american tank.
