Hadi Amiri, Qais Khazali, Muhandis, and Alfayyadh all reportedly present at the "protests"

Iran-backed Hashd al-Shaabi militia leaders.

If Iran gets a strike within the next few days we'll know it's game on.

Protesters in the compound.

Also getting reports that outside of the compound tents are being erected. Looks like they’re planning to stay.

"This is a letter to Trump and the American embassy in Baghdad and its consulate in Erbil and in Basra those who have attacked our forces and our Jihadi brothers god willing, if this fire reaches inside of the embassy, we will not spare a single employee, we are the children of the martyrs and this is our statement, death to America," he said.

Probably the best media outlet to follow for unbias updates.

This is sure showing that the Iraqi government is a puppet of Iran at this point. I hope Trump hammers their little protest/attack.

If an American embassy is considered American soil then why the hell are the invaders not being sent to their maker?

That looks ugly, and if the outside pressure continues on for days, which I suspect it is planned to, there will have to be a significant response on our part.

Hoping a large indigenous response will be all that is needed.

I suggest you bomb them all to bits.

Can’t believe there isn’t a couple of predators with gbu-12s or hellfires circling above..

Love how the Iraqi military apparently just let the enemy waltz right into the green zone unopposed. This should tell us all we need to know about their current government. We should pull out and end all support to Iraq.

It's retaliation for killing Hezbollah that was US retaliation for Kirkuk. All State and US mil have already warned there will be retaliation if our diplomats are targeted.

Aww man... Praying for our people.

This seems like a good opportunity to demonstrate to the world (especially that part of the world) that fucking with our embassies will not be tolerated. They've down it before with impunity. I think a few thousand corpses rotting in the sun tomorrow would set a good example.

Iraq has no military other than the 30,000 or so CTS we trained. Kurdistan's Peshmerga are far more capable and loyal but won't get sucked into this shitstorm.

The .gov should have let all our assets in the area go weapons free as soon as they attempted to enter the compound.

Attacking any U.S. Embassy in the world needs swift and immediate repercussions with force so overwhelming that there is no mistaking our stance on the matter.
