Over 600 Strikes Recorded Against US Interests
A senior official from the U.S. State Department has confirmed that more than 600 attacks have targeted American facilities across Iraq during the period of heightened tension associated with the Iran war. This extensive series of strikes includes rocket fire and drone attacks directed at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the diplomatic support center, and the consulate in Erbil.
The data highlights the persistent security challenges facing American personnel in the region. U.S. officials maintain that these operations are largely carried out by Iran-backed militias, which continue to threaten both American citizens and regional infrastructure throughout Iraq and the Kurdistan region.
In a recent security alert, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad warned that militia groups remain actively engaged in planning future operations against American targets. Furthermore, the State Department raised concerns regarding the blurred lines between Iraqi state institutions and these armed elements, citing reports that some factions continue to receive financial and political support from within the government.
The U.S. administration is now calling on Iraqi leadership to take decisive action to curb these activities. Officials have emphasized that they are looking for tangible results, such as the removal of militia members from state payrolls and the withdrawal of their influence from government institutions, rather than mere diplomatic statements.
