CNN)One rocket hit a dining facility Sunday on the compound of the US Embassy in Baghdad, a US official told CNN.

The official said at this early stage there are reports of minor damage.

Neither the Pentagon nor the State Department have made public any reports of injuries and have not returned requests from CNN for comment on the incident.


Rep. Michael McCaul, the lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs committee, said in a tweet Sunday that he is "closely monitoring reports of a rocket attack targeting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad."

"Violent acts against our diplomatic facilities are simply unacceptable. We must ensure the safety of American diplomats, troops and other Americans in Iraq."

Adil Abdul Mahdi, the prime minister of Iraq, condemned the attack and said Iraqi forces have been ordered to "deploy, search, and investigate to prevent the recurrence of such attacks, and to arrest those who launched these rockets so that they can be punished."

The Prime Minister said the Iraqi government is "committed to protecting all diplomatic missions and taking all necessary measures to achieve this

Lobatan!

If you don't want peace, then you definitely craving for war.

They said Obama was foolish.

Now several fronts are opened.

Watching the movie.

All we need is one love....

Shebi people who don't understand global International affairs kept goading Trump to believe he would crush Iran in a second.

I laughed because I know better.

I warned against the repercussions of Trump's needless attacks.
I hope the USA does the right thing by electing in a Democrat who will go plead with the Middle East.

we need lasting peace not bombing and killing.

This is part of the terrorism that mandated Gen. soleimani to be assassinated, Iran is good in sponsoring these
covert proxy terrorists. If you think that Iran stand any chance against the US militarily then you need Bat peppersoup.

By the way American is still just considering sending a missile defense to Iraq, the attacked bases had to air defense.

On January 24, Iraqis organized massive protests in Baghdad to call for an end to the Amerikan military occupation in their country following high-profile assassinations and airstrikes targeting anti-terror forces.

The protesters were seen carrying banners and chanting slogans calling for the expulsion of Amerikan forces.

“Get out, get out, occupier!” some shouted, while others chanted, “Yes to sovereignty!”

The Amerikan MSM lied about the numbers, saying only a few hundred showed up.

The Iraqis have asked nicely - Please Leave.

The next communication should be with IEDs, rockets and RPGs.

Only by direct violent actions will the Amerikan Bastards be forced to leave.

The Amerikan military bases should be under attack every day from rockets & snipers, every occupation patrol should come under attack. It's the only language the bastards understand.

The Amerikan Military is a very slow learner.

The Crude Oil they're stealing in Iraq will not allow them leave unless they are evicted by way of explosive destruction of large numbers of Amerikan troops.

It is that way with all hegemonic, colonial or imperial powers.

Lebanon 1983 Produced Certain Outcomes:

“The Marines left Lebanese territory on September 10 but returned on September 29, following the massacre of Palestinian refugees by a Christian militia. The next day, the first U.S. Marine to die during the mission was killed while defusing a bomb, and on April 18, 1983, the U.S. embassy in Beirut was bombed. On October 23, Lebanese terrorists evaded security measures and drove a truck packed with explosives into the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 U.S. military personnel. Fifty-eight French soldiers were killed almost simultaneously in a separate suicide terrorist attack. On February 7, 1984, U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced the end of U.S. participation in the peacekeeping force, and on February 26 the last U.S. Marines left Beirut.”

The end is near for bastard American. They will pay dearly for the death of over 50 million innocent lives since 1946 after the second world war.
