yota691 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 "An explosion and sirens sounded" .. News of "targeting an American base in Baghdad." Alhurra - Washington 05 October 2020 From last October to the end of July, 39 missile attacks targeted US interests in Iraq "Three missiles" landed targeting the American Victoria base near Baghdad airport and the American embassy in the Iraqi capital, according to media reports, at dawn on Monday. And the media reported that two missiles landed at Baghdad International Airport, indicating that warning sirens sounded at the American Victoria base located on the airport campus, amid flights by helicopters. The sources stated that a third missile, struck in the Jadriya area in central Baghdad, was targeting the US embassy in the Green Zone. Eyewitnesses who live in the vicinity of the Green Zone, in the center of Baghdad, said that they heard a loud explosion in the area, followed by the sounds of loud sirens that sounded from the US embassy in the Green Zone. It is noteworthy that any security source or the war media cell did not refer to the incident, which occurred after midnight on Sunday, Monday. Washington has repeatedly condemned the targeting of its missions and forces in Iraq by militias and armed groups supported by Iran, and the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazimi, confirmed that the United States had considered closing its embassy. And from the moment there was information about the possibility of closing the embassy, Al-Kazemi hastened to announce the suspension of the security force responsible for the Green Zone, threatening to take similar action against every force that failed and allowed such security breaches. Al-Kazemi confirmed that he informed the American side of the seriousness of his government in preventing the targeting of diplomatic missions, denying "receiving a threat from America regarding the closure of its embassy in Iraq. We have received American annoyance about the absurd missiles, regarding the security of their missions" in the country. And the Iraqi Foreign Minister, Fuad Hussein, confirmed to his US counterpart, Mike Pompeo, on Saturday, that the Iraqi government had taken a number of measures to stop the attacks on the Green Zone and the airport, after Washington threatened to close its embassy in Baghdad due to the continuing militia attacks on American interests. From last October to the end of July, 39 missile attacks targeted US interests in Iraq. US military officials believe that the armed groups loyal to Iran have become a greater threat than ISIS, which at a certain stage controlled about a third of the area of Iraq. Al-Kazemi warned against parties he said "seek to obstruct our relationship with Washington," stressing the importance of establishing interest-based relations with the United States, and saying, "America is a superpower ... and relations with Washington are based on interests and our interests must be protected with it in the fields of economy, education, health and security. Stressing that the decision of war and peace concerns the state only. Alhurra - Washington 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
