Trump calls on Iran to 'think over' any possible attack on Americans in Iraq

Washington, Dec 24 (Sputnik) US President Donald Trump warned that the United States would hold Iran responsible if any Americans are killed in any new rocket attacks in Iraq.
"Our embassy in Baghdad got hit Sunday by several rockets. Three rockets failed to launch. Guess where they were from: IRAN. Now we hear chatter of additional attacks against Americans in Iraq," Trump said via Twitter on Wednesday. "Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over."
US officials said earlier that they see troubling indicators of "potential attack preparations" from pro-Iran militias in Iraq ahead of the first anniversary of the assassination of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani by a US drone strike outside Baghdad.
Earlier on Wednesday, US media reported citing unnamed sources that the United States may close its embassy in Iraq to pave the way for an possible attack on Iran.
The most recent rocket attack took place on Sunday, when defensive interceptors stationed at the US embassy shot down three rockets fired at Baghdad’s Green Zone, a heavily fortified enclave where many government offices and diplomatic missions are located.
The United States has already withdrawn some of its diplomats from Iraq to reduce exposure to possible Iranian attacks.
