Reports that Iranian and Lebanese (Hezbollah) groups had arrived in these rooms [Babylon Hotel] and are believed to be members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)
(aurora intel? how many R U??)
It's concerning that the IRGC and Hezbollah are already being implicated without any apparent evidence.
(Katushka rockets are like Walmart lawn chairs.)

Rocket Fired Toward US Embassy In Central Baghdad, Explosion Reported

How on earth can anyone say for certain it was a Katushka? Did someone already go in for fragments? Did someone ID it as it flew by at supersonic speed? Can you tell by the boom?

Over-hyped event. One single missile and explosion about a mile away from the US embassy- no threat, no major attack. It hit an abandoned building.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rocke...184134416.html
Associated Press reporters on the east side of the Tigris River, opposite the Green Zone, heard an explosion, after which alert sirens sounded briefly in Baghdad.
Iraqi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasoul told The Associated Press that a Katyusha rocket fell near the statue of the Unknown Soldier, less than a mile from the U.S. Embassy. He said the military is investigating the cause but that the rocket was believed to have been fired from east Baghdad. The area is home to Iran-backed Shiite militias.
Iraq's state-run news agency said a Katyusha rocket crashed inside the Green Zone without causing any casualties.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcherThe Katyusha multiple rocket launcher is a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. Wikipedia
Designer: Georgy Langemak
Used by: Soviet Union
No. built: ~10,000
Produced: 1941
In service: 1939–present

If it landed a mile away then that could not have been the intended target if it was fired less than 6 miles away if it is the older M - 14 version . It would be more accurate than that . The newer version , the Grad has more range , maybe twice that but I am not as familiar with .

The old ones make a distinctive howling sound .How on earth can anyone say for certain it was a Katushka? Did someone already go in for fragments? Did someone ID it as it flew by at supersonic speed? Can you tell by the boom?

In America you would call these MLRS . It is cheap artillery that will maybe scare the $#@! out of unseasoned troops and thats about it . They have to get lucky to hit what they want. But I do not think you can miss by a mile .
Do something Danke
The smallest , probably older one of course is the 82 but it would not hit an empty building because the range is short enough that it is accurate . It would at least hit a building that was targeted .
Do something Danke
Well of course it is. The CIA, MIC, and big oil was not going to let Trump back out of this. This false flag was inevitable. Could have made some money on the likelihood of this happening.
I still encourage them to vote for us to leave . It is the right thing .
Do something Danke
That would turn out even worse than the last two combined . Cannot see what there is in persia anyone in right mind would want that bad.
Do something Danke
It wouldn't matter where it comes from... It will be blamed on Iran. I am very afraid that now Trump wants to deescalate the situation the MIC, CIA, and Powers that be are going to, as they have many times before, conduct a false flag event to prevent it. We will get sucked in no mater what we would rather see, even Trump. When Trump first started pulling troops out at the beginning this was all put into motion to prevent it. This was when he first threatened the profit and livelihood of thousands of military contract companies. Then throw in the big oil companies and they will just add fuel to the fire in any way they can. I hope I'm wrong but I have called it several times before in the last 20 years.
Oil.
The US has been after them since at least the 1953 staged coup by the Brits & US.
There is no spoon.
Trump has always been after Iran.
His campaign speech was quite explicit about it & he was always after getting out of the nuclear deal- which was one of the best things Obama did- but we can't have that now, can we.
There is no spoon.
That is a fact.
Doesn't change the fact that right now he is making it very public that he actually wants to have diplomatic rather than hostile relations like his own staff does.
Looks like Trump is blaming Iran?
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/ar...ads-green-zone
Trump issued the warning after a rocket landed less than a mile from the U.S. Embassy on Sunday in Baghdad's Green Zone, further stoking tensions in the region.
Trump tweeted: "If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!"

Oh god I hope not... Even if his intel is telling him this I hope he steps back and takes a minute to think.
There is plenty of oil . America is not smart enough to get it from people when they invade anyway . So , nuthin" .

Looks like he is just warning them not to do it again so far. Hope he doesn't fall for this $#@! and it doesn't go any further.
But there is an important point in that article you shared.
"Iranian officials say the country is not looking for war."
And
"Iraq hosts more than 5,000 U.S. troops, and is home to powerful Iranian-backed militias, some of whom want those U.S. forces to leave."
One of these Militias may be acting on their own and even though we accuse Iran of backing them they are not Iran.
"
Not so sure that it is they want more oil. It's that they want to control competition because they are supplying those who are now sanctioned from buying from Iran.
