On Tuesday this morning , thousands of angry protesters made their ways to the embassy , and violently attacked its compound following the US air-strikes on some targets based in both Iraq and Syria killing 25 Iran-backed Iraqi militants.
An American civilian contractor was killed in a rocket attack on Friday last week in Kirkuk, in Iraq. The US said that it wanted to send a clear message to Iran that any threats against American lives will not be tolerated. The air-strikes from the US-air force is said to be an retaliation for the rocket attack last week.
Some sources said that the mobs raided the compound and smashed the doors and windows trying to enter further inside. Security cameras were pulled down and the guard post was set on fire.
Both Iraq prime minister, and Kataib Hezbollah’s commander, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were outraged by the attack. While the prime minister requested for the revising its relationship with the United States, the leader of Kataibb Hezbollah sent a warning message to US that his militia would respond very tough against US-forces based in Iraq.
President Trump tweeted: “Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!”
