Two Katyusha rockets struck near the US embassy and a military base close to Baghdad International Airport late Tuesday night, causing material damage but no casualties. The Iraqi security media cell reported that the rockets impacted Camp Victory, where US forces are stationed, coinciding with an upcoming visit from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Although no group has claimed responsibility, the Iran-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah indicated that the attack aimed to disrupt the presidential visit and called for an investigation. The incident reflects ongoing tensions as Iraq negotiates a withdrawal strategy for US coalition forces, with hundreds expected to leave by September 2025. While security forces continue to monitor the situation, civilian air traffic remained unaffected. This attack underscores the fragile security landscape in Iraq amid shifting political dynamics.
