Iraqi media reported late on Sunday a rocket attack on the United States embassy in Baghdad amid raising tensions with Iran.
 
Iraqi police said no casualties were reported and confirmed that the rocket hit a zone near the embassy.
 
The US State Department recently decided to cut off personnel from both its embassy in Baghdad and its consulate in Erbil, capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, due to security reason and emerging of new threats from neighboring Iran.
