Both groups are aligned with Iran\u2019s Ayatollah regime, but Iraqi officials aren\u2019t yet certain if the attack was ordered directly by Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>Although the prime minister escaped unscathed, the incident has strained Iraqi-Iranian ties and may add to domestic instability in Iraq. However, no parties have claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2575758\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2575758\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2575758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/mushom-435x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"This photo provided by the Iraqi Prime Minister&#039;s Media Office shows the aftermath of an assassination attempt at the home of Iraq&#039;s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in the heavily fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021. Al-Kadhimi survived the assassination attempt with armed drones that targeted his residence early Sunday and officials said he escaped unharmed.
