Rockets have been fired near the US Embassy in Baghdad and a military airbase housing American troops, according to reports.

Two Katyusha rockets fell inside Iraq’s Balad air base, 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, which houses U.S. forces on Saturday but caused no casualties, two security sources told Reuters.

Another three rockets landed near the embassy, which is located in the security-tight Green Zone,

There have been no reports of injuries.

On Friday, local time, an airstrike killed Iran general Qassem Soleimani – an act for which the country’s president Rhouhani has chillingly promised to exact revenge.

The strike was ordered by President Donald Trump who said the Qud Forces commander was plotting ‘imminent and sinister’ attacks against Americans.

The general was the architect of Iran’s shadow warfare and military expansion in the Middle East and was targeted specifically because he was actively developing plans to kill members of the U.S. military and diplomats in the region.

‘We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war,’ Trump said in brief remarks at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.
