Last Friday, the heavily guarded Green Zone in central Baghdad, which houses foreign diplomatic missions and official residences, came under a missile attack targeting the US Embassy. No casualties were reported. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani called the incident a terrorist attack and ordered that those responsible be found and brought to justice. He also set up a task group for an investigation into the security services staff. The wave of attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria comes amid heightened tensions in the region, following the October 7 Hamas' attack on Israel, as well as an increase in incidents involving US warships in the Red Sea.
