The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was struck by missiles and drones in a series of attacks attributed to Iran-backed militias as regional tensions escalate further. Smoke was seen rising from the embassy compound following the incidents, which damaged a helipad and prompted the embassy to issue urgent warnings for Americans to leave Iraq immediately due to increasing hostility. Reports indicate that no injuries occurred during the attacks, although the situation remains volatile as the conflict in the Middle East deepens. The U.S. has previously launched strikes against Iran-aligned forces, heightening the risk for U.S. citizens in the area.
