US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States would respond with a swift strike and "perhaps in a disproportionate way" if Iran attacked any American individual or target.
"These media posts constitute a notice to the US Congress that if Iran attacks any American person or target, the United States will respond quickly, completely, and possibly in a disproportionate manner," Trump said in a tweet on Twitter. Such a legal notice is not required, but it was issued nonetheless. ”
Trump's threat came after the Iraqi army announced, on Sunday, that 6 Katyusha rockets had landed in Baghdad, 3 of them were in the heavily fortified Green Zone, where the US embassy is located, and 3 others are in the neighboring Jadiriyah area.
And Iraqi sources have confirmed the fall of two missiles in the vicinity of the American embassy, after he heard loud explosions that shook the Green Zone.
The sources also confirmed that civilians were wounded by a missile that landed on a residential house opposite the US embassy in Baghdad, in addition to injuries in the Jadriya area near the suspension bridge leading to the embassy.
