“Rocket hits Green Zone, US Embassy in Iraq: ‘We’re still assessing the damage,'” by Sohel Uddin and Conor Finnegan, ABC News, January 13, 2022:
The U.S. Embassy and other parts of the Green Zone in Baghdad were attacked by “terrorist groups” Thursday, according to the embassy.
“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 tweet. “We have long said that these sorts of reprehensible attacks are an assault not just on diplomatic facilities, but on the sovereignty of Iraq itself.”
This is the latest rocket or drone attack on the U.S. presence in Iraq and neighboring Syria in recent weeks, though so far none have caused any American casualties.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. Iran-backed militias have conducted previous attacks, including last Thursday, calling them retribution for the U.S. strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani two years ago this month.
Security sources told ABC News that three rockets were fired from the Dora area, south of Baghdad. Two were intercepted, and one landed inside a school in the Green Zone, causing damage and injuring a woman and a girl….

Our international interests are literally being attacked by a foreign entity, as the domestic enemies in control of the federal government continually dump soldiers of this entity inside our neighborhoods to murder, rape, destroy and pillage citizens. Why are we not ending this war being waged against us inside our borders?

I thought attacking a countries embassy was considered an act of war? I guess not, kinda like defunding the police and not prosecuting criminals we now open our borders and allow our enemies to attacks with no penalty. I wonder when the NFL will do away with the officials and let the players call their own penalties. If we don’t need to have social and criminal rules enforced to protect lives, we certainly shouldn’t need them to enforce rules of a GAME.
