Three rockets have hit the US Embassy compound in Baghdad, Iraq, leaving one person injured, US officials have confirmed.
According to the US State Department the rocket were fired in the Baghdad Green Zone, where US Military outposts and the US Embassy is located.
The US has not put any blame on Iran for the attack and no official statement had come out from Iran or any of it's military proxies.
The US and Iran have been in a stand off since the US withdrew from the Iran Nuclear deal in 2018, that was signed by the US, Iran, E.U, Russia and China.
Early this month, Iranian protesters stormed the US embassy which prompted the US military to kill Iranian military General Qassem Soleimani, leading to an Iran military strike on a US base in Iraq that caused head injuries to some US troops.
Following heightened tensions between both countries, the US called on the Iraqi government to protect it's bases in Iraq even though the Iraqi parliament voted on a resolution to oust the American military from Iraq.
