A woman and a child were wounded when several rockets hit Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, including the US embassy, on Thursday, the embassy and Iraqi military said in statements.

US personnel in the area are safe following the attacks, a State Department official told CNN. "The U.S. Embassy compound was attacked this evening by terrorist groups attempting to undermine Iraq's security, sovereignty, and international relations," the embassy said in a statement.

Last Wednesday, military bases in Iraq and Syria that house American troops were attacked, though no US forces were killed in the strikes. Last week also saw several other attacks in the region, coinciding with the second anniversary of the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a key Iranian general. The attack last week on the US base in eastern Syria near the Iraqi border prompted US-led coalition forces to fire back at Iranian-backed militias who were suspected of being behind the strikes.

So sorry for them, It is especially unfortunate that very large groups of Iraqis have been killed for many reasons in recent years.

Growing anti American sentiments in the region is worrisome. I think they are just treading with existential mistakes between arm groups and Putin's Russia
