This marks the first attack on the embassy in over two years, with the last recorded strike occurring in late 2023 amid escalating tensions linked to US support for Israel. A senior Iraqi security official reported that the C-RAM defense system intercepted one rocket, and there were no casualties. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attackers, describing them as rogue elements.
