Observers believe that Iran-backed Iraqi factions orchestrated similar attacks against the US embassy in Baghdad and the US-led Coalition bases.

The frequency of those attacks increased drastically since the assassination of the Commander of Quds force, Major-General Qassem Soleimani, and the Deputy Head of al-Hashd al-Shaabi Commission, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
