US embassy in Baghdad hit by strike as Trump says military targets 'obliterated' on Iran's key oil island

The US embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, has been hit by a missile.

Reuters and the Associated Press news agencies report that a missile struck the embassy, while the AFP news agency quotes sources saying damage was caused by a drone strike.

The attack took place shortly after two Iran-backed fighters were killed in strikes on Iraq's capital, AFP also reported, citing several sources.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump says "every military target" on Iran's key oil island has been "totally obliterated", but there was no damage to oil infrastructure

Kharg Island is a tiny but strategic terminal in the northern Gulf, 22 miles off the coast of Iran - here's a look at why it is so significant

In response, Tehran warns oil and energy infrastructure belonging to firms that co-operate with the US will be "turned into a pile of ashes" if Iran's energy facilities are attacked

Meanwhile, more US Marines and warships are expected to be deployed to the Middle East, two officials tell BBC's partner CBS News.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump said the US military had bombed Iran's Kharg Island.

He said that he did not target the oil infrastructure. The island is a critical economic lifeline for Tehran as one analyst says around 90% of Iran's oil exports pass through the island.

The Fars News Agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, says that more than 15 explosions were heard on the island during the US attacks.

The attacks targeted air defences, a naval base, airport control tower and a helicopter hangar, the agency says in a post on Telegram.

There was no damage to oil infrastructure on Kharg Island, Iranian state media reports.
