U.S. Embassy In Baghdad Attacked, Set On Fire By Protesters Over Airstrike(Pics) by Explorers(m): 2:18pm On Dec 31, 2019
President Donald Trump has vowed to hold Iran 'fully responsible' for an attack on the US embassy in Baghdad today, where hundreds of pro-Iran militia members stormed the compound in retaliation for American air strikes.

American soldiers inside the embassy have fired tear gas, stun grenades and warning shots at hundreds of fighters who broke down the compound gate and set fires within the complex in the Iraqi capital.


US soldiers could be seen inside the building filmed from the outside by furious protesters who pressed up against the glass taunting the personnel.

Many are supported by Iran.

Demonstrators, including some wearing military fatigues, hurl rocks over the compound walls on Tuesday after they set fire to the barricade.

Mr Trump always hold Iran responsible for everything. He is still going to hold Iran responsible for his impeachment grin
Let's agree it's a proxy war between Iran and America but what evidence do they have by holding Iran responsible?

They way USSR held America responsible during the Soviet-Afghan war when America was channeling weapons and money to the Mujahideens to fight the Soviet troops in Afghanistan? undecided

If it was Africa, they would’ve acquiesced to the air strikes without a word. Arabs have heart.

America turned Iraq to what it is today and they think the Iraqis would forget just like that. They are ready to give America the treatment it deserves this time. Strike them again and see what happens, they have a military base there. They still dont know what to do with the Taliban who is seriously giving them headache. One thing i like about America is she has money to service unnecessary wars.

Why Iran? Something happened in Iraq, you are holding Iran responsible How?? I don't understand.... Its obvious these countries don't need your presence even your base is not allowed there. Why can't you be responsible for once and go instead of blaming peaceful Iran !

The Protesters are Iraq Popular mobilization forces. They are Shia Militants who are Sponsored by Iran..
They are an Equivalent of the Shia guys in Nigeria who were protesting in kaduna and Abuja..

This is beautiful. This is a good news. grin

Perhaps when all Amerikan Embassies worldwide are attacked, the Washington District Criminals and her lackeys in Tel Aviv, London, Paris, Riyadh & all NATO capitals around the world will begin to get the message.

This is no longer business as usual. grin

My sincere prayer is for satan to push Trump into attacking Iran so that the United Snakes of Amerika can crumble quickly. grin

One misguided move on Iran and Iran will in effect target every oil, natural gas field, installation, refinery, ports, basically all the whole oil and gas infrastructure of the GCC countries.

The Persian Gulf will be a no-go zone and that means that overnight, 50% of the worlds total oil production and flow would cease. grin

Every war the Amerika has prosecuted since 1946 saw no fighting on the US mainland. About time that changed. Make 300 million Americans know what being carpet bombed feels like. grin

And I also expect Iran to covertly supply just THREE missiles to the Houthis in Yemen to destroy the 14mbpd salt water injection plant at Qurayyah and 80% of Saudi Crude Oil Production 8.5mbpd from the Ghawar/Khurais oil fields inland will cease. grin

If the price of oil increases by $70 then Russia stand to gain $70 x 365 x 14mbpd (Russian oil/gas equivalent exports) = $350 BILLION per year.

Even Nigeria will not be left out of this overnight prosperity - as she would rake in over $51Billion per year. grin

It's time to be proactive against the Great Amerikan Satan. grin

Here's a recent statement made by Iranian Commander "Amir Ali Hajizadeh", Head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Aerospace Division.

“An aircraft carrier that has at least 40 to 50 planes on it and 6,000 forces gathered within it was a serious threat for us in the past, but now it is a target and the threats have switched to opportunities,”

“If (the Americans) make a move, we will hit them in the head,” grin

I do not need Orunmila to tell me Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba & other axis of resistance are already standing by. grin

I leave you with a video of an Important Statement which was released by Mother Russia on December 24, 2019 (Christmas Eve).

I don't really support all your analyses, but one thing is sure, North Korea would make sure all US military bases in SK and Japan would be under intense attack within days. Moreover, China and Russia would intercept largely most US missiles. Trump wouldn't make this mistake.

The protest reveals one thing, forces in Iraq are loyal to Iran than the US, if not how did they (protesters) gain access to the greenzone, a zone that is heavily fortified.

I feel so much for Iraqis, they are the ones facing the consequences of this endless war.
