(CNN) One rocket hit a dining facility Sunday on the compound of the US Embassy in Baghdad, a US official told CNN.

The official said at this early stage there are reports of minor damage.

Neither the Pentagon nor the State Department have made public any reports of injuries and have not returned requests from CNN for comment on the incident.

Rep. Michael McCaul, the lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs committee, said in a tweet Sunday that he is "closely monitoring reports of a rocket attack targeting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad."

"Violent acts against our diplomatic facilities are simply unacceptable. We must ensure the safety of American diplomats, troops and other Americans in Iraq."

Adil Abdul Mahdi, the prime minister of Iraq, condemned the attack and said Iraqi forces have been ordered to "deploy, search, and investigate to prevent the recurrence of such attacks, and to arrest those who launched these rockets so that they can be punished."

The Prime Minister said the Iraqi government is "committed to protecting all diplomatic missions and taking all necessary measures to achieve this."

Well..... the assassination of suleimani was to prevent an attack on the us embassy and other embassies. This time they actually bombed the embassy, if America wants to keep representing itself as a protective state. They need to counter attack, you can't be disrespected in the middle east. Or else these attacks become more frequent. Since trump got his war powers stripped and is in the midst of his removal trial, who knows how he might act.

Will the people surrounding him drug him again, like when they did with the previous iran attack. He wanted to go all out and they drugged him because even for them it was to crazy.

Now he might be on the lose if they actually proceed to remove him, which i personally highly doubt.

And on top of all, he got's to deal with the corona virus. I rather have bush or clinton handling this virus, then trigger finger trump.

Now that even the political capital of china beining is under lockdown, the impact on the worlds economy will be severe. The question is, the world economy is already on the verge of collapse. With this virus hitting on of the major economies in the world, has set a domino's effect on the stock markets.

Hence why the world health organisation refused to call it a global health emergency.

With 18 cities under lockdown and by now atleast 80 million people quarantined, i simply cannot trust trump nor XI to handle this situation.

Imagine that this virus hits Africa, all of the continent is doomed. I guess agenda 21 here we come.
