According to the AFP news agency, he said that the United States was “angry” by the latest series of attacks in Iraq. He also stressed: “We will make Iran accountable for the actions of its allies who attack the Americans while representing Iran’s interests.”. “We will certainly not fight around and risk an escalation that will only load Iran and contribute to its attempts to further destabilize Iraq,” Price explained to reporters.
On Monday, several missiles were aimed at the strictly guarded Green Zone in the Iraqi capital, where the US Embassy is located. This is the third attack in the last week aimed at Western diplomatic, military or commercial facilities across Iraq. Relative peace has prevailed in recent months.
A series of attacks
At least two rockets landed on Monday at the border of the Green Zone, where they have their headquarters in addition to the US and other Western embassies. The Iraqi security services informed about it. The attack was not designed to hit the US diplomatic mission directly, a security source explained to AFP.
However, at least one rocket hit the headquarters of the Iraqi National Security Service near the US diplomatic mission and damaged several parked cars. At least one shot hit a nearby residential area and damaged a multi-storey car park.
The US-led coalition has been deployed in Iraq since 2014 to help local security forces fight jihadists, but also runs a military base near the US embassy.
