Siege of the US-embassy

31 December 2019

Pro-Iranian protesters from the “Popular Mobilization Forces” break into the heavily guarded compound of the United States Embassy in Baghdad and set fire inside as a response to the US-American airstrikes two days before. The men later withdraw from the compound, joining thousands of protesters and militia fighters outside chanting “Death to America,” The protesters siege the compound and trap American diplomats in the embassy overnight before they withdraw after leaders of the Iranian-backed militias who had organized the demonstration call on the crowd to leave on the second day.
