The missile attack on the green area of ​​Baghdad

The embassy area has become a destination for pro-Iranian militias in recent times. After the US attack on the "Hezbollah battalions of Iraq" in the eastern part of the country, masses of pro-Iranian activists stormed the embassy and set fire to the entrance post. A few days after Suleimani's assassination, missiles were reported in the embassy area.
