Sources said that the American "Sea Ram" missile defense system responded to the missile attack on the embassy in the Green Zone.

In a related context, the Iraqi army announced the finding of seven Katyusha rockets with platforms directed towards the Green Zone, central Baghdad, and no party has yet claimed responsibility for launching the missile, according to Al Arabiya Network.

The attacks against the Americans have increased since the killing of the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qassem Soleimani, and the leader of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Organization, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, in a US air raid in Baghdad on January 3.

Washington accuses the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades and other factions close to Iran of being behind the attacks.
