Misbar Identifies Missile Defense System Targeted in Attack on U.S. Embassy in Baghdad

On March 14, an account named “Iranian Military Capabilities” published a video claiming to show an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Following this, Misbar’s team at Al Araby TV analyzed the footage, identifying the location of the attack and the type of target with precision.

Location Targeted in Attack on U.S. Embassy in Baghdad

Misbar’s team pinpointed the location of the targeted site using visible landmarks, including a utility pole and a cluster of palm trees. Their analysis showed it is near the southern building of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, at coordinates 33.298310596780844, 44.39323147376186.

The attack occurred in the heart of the heavily fortified Green Zone, an area protected by tight security.

The team also identified a video published by the Associated Press on March 12—one day before the attack—showing the C-RAM missile defense system active above the embassy.

A comparison of images from that video with the attack footage confirmed a precise match between the targeted point and the location of the C-RAM system.

Misbar’s team further located another video capturing the attack from a different angle, revealing partial damage to the C-RAM system.

The footage also shows the destruction of the radar dome that works with the C-RAM system, indicating a direct impact on its electronic defenses.

The C-RAM system has been heavily deployed in recent days to protect the U.S. Embassy and other American facilities in Iraq.

C‑RAM Missile Defense System

C‑RAM is a short-range air defense system developed by the U.S. military to protect sensitive sites and bases from rockets, mortar rounds, and artillery shells before they reach their targets. It is the land-based version of the naval Phalanx CIWS system.

The system is equipped with a 20 mm Gatling gun, as well as advanced radars and sensors that can detect, track, and automatically intercept incoming projectiles at high speed, giving it an immediate reaction capability in dynamic combat environments. Its firing rate can reach up to 4,500 rounds per minute.

A basic C‑RAM unit costs between $10 million and $15 million, while each interception typically costs a few thousand dollars. By comparison, conventional interceptor missiles can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per launch, making C‑RAM a cost-effective solution for short-range defense.
