The US Embassy in Baghdad is being evacuated


Following recent attacks on Americans in the Middle East, all non-essential personnel have been evacuated from the US Embassy in Baghdad. In particular, the US base in southern Iraq has been the target of numerous attacks.

Previously, there was even information that American soldiers had died, but it was refuted, although it was disseminated by American sources.

It should be noted that the United States has made it clear that in the event of a generalized conflict, they will be fully involved in it, threatening to strike Iran.

This is not the first time Shiites have attacked the US Embassy in Baghdad, as they often test the strength of buildings, but this time, according to rumors, it is an attack using ballistic weapons.

The US embassy in Baghdad is a “legitimate target”, according to Shiites (who are also the majority in Iraq), since the US is actively involved in supporting Israel by intercepting missiles from Yemen aimed at the territory of the Jewish state. And it is especially vulnerable because it is currently an “island” in the “sea of ​​hatred” towards the Americans in Iraq, with the exception of the Kurdish regions of Musulis and Kirkuk, where the Americans are welcome guests and partners of the Kurdish administration.

The situation is heating up every minute…
