BAGHDAD—A rocket landed near the U.S. Embassy in the center of the Iraqi capital on Sunday, security officials said, in an incident that comes amid already heightened tensions in the region after Washington warned of threats from Iran and its allies. No major destruction was inflicted by the rocket, which landed near a museum displaying old planes and caused some damage to a building used by security guards, according to an official in the interior ministry.
