Iraqi supporters of Iran-backed militia attack US Embassy
https://apnews.com/75228a8a607a44863b57021ac33264dc (http://archive.vn/ljm9Y)

By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA12 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (AP) — Dozens of angry Iraqi Shiite militia supporters broke into the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad on Tuesday after smashing a main door and setting fire to a reception area, prompting tear gas and sounds of gunfire.

An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw flames rising from inside the compound and at least three U.S. soldiers on the roof of the main building inside embassy. It was not clear what caused the fire at the reception area near the parking lot of the compound. A man on a loudspeaker urged the mob not to enter the compound, saying: “The message was delivered.”

The embassy attack followed deadly U.S. airstrikes on Sunday that killed 25 fighters of the Iran-backed militia in Iraq, the Kataeb Hezbollah. The U.S. military said it was in retaliation for last week’s killing of an American contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base that it had blamed on the militia.

Dozens of protesters marched inside the compound after smashing the gate used by cars to enter the embassy. The protesters, many in militia uniform, stopped in a corridor after about 5 meters (16 feet), and were only about 200 meters away from the main building. Half a dozen U.S. soldiers were seen on the roof of the main building, their guns were pointed at the protesters.

Smoke from the tear gas rose in the area, and at least three of the protesters appeared to have difficulties breathing. It wasn’t immediately known whether the embassy staff had remained inside the main building.

The protesters hanged a poster on the wall: “America is an aggressor.”

Shouting “Down, Down USA,” the crowd tried to push inside the embassy grounds, hurling water and stones over its walls. They raised yellow militia flags and taunted the embassy’s security staff who remained behind the glass windows in the gates’ reception area. They sprayed graffiti on the wall and windows in red in support of the Kataeb Hezbollah militia: “Closed in the name of the resistance.”

Hundreds of angry protesters, some in militia uniforms, set up tents outside the embassy. As tempers rose, the mob set fire to three trailers used by security guards along the embassy wall.

No one was immediately reported hurt in the rampage and security staff had withdrawn to inside the embassy earlier, soon after protesters gathered outside.

The U.S. attack — the largest targeting an Iraqi state-sanctioned militia in recent years — and the subsequent calls by the militia for retaliation, represent a new escalation in the proxy war between the U.S. and Iran playing out in the Middle East.

Tuesday’s attempted embassy storming took place after mourners and supporters held funerals for the militia fighters killed in a Baghdad neighborhood, after which they marched on to the heavily fortified Green Zone and kept walking till they reached the sprawling U.S. Embassy there.

AP journalists then saw the crowd as they tried to scale the walls of the embassy, in what appeared to be an attempt to storm it, shouting “Down, down USA!” and “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday’s strikes send the message that the U.S. will not tolerate actions by Iran that jeopardize American lives.

The Iranian-backed Iraqi militia had vowed Monday to retaliate for the U.S. military strikes. The attack and vows for revenge raised concerns of new attacks that could threaten American interests in the region.

The U.S. attack also outraged both the militias and the Iraqi government, which said it will reconsider its relationship with the U.S.-led coalition — the first time it has said it will do so since an agreement was struck to keep some U.S. troops in the country. It called the attack a “flagrant violation” of its sovereignty.

In a partly televised meeting Monday, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi told Cabinet members that he had tried to stop the U.S. operation “but there was insistence” from American officials.

The U.S. military said “precision defensive strikes” were conducted against five sites of Kataeb Hezbollah, or Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq and Syria. The group, which is a separate force from the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, operates under the umbrella of the state-sanctioned militias known collectively as the Popular Mobilization Forces. Many of them are supported by Iran.

Meh, this seems like a reasonably proportional response to the attack on the embassy, not really seeing why so many people are getting worked up about it, Iran really isn't going to be able to do much in response that the colossus that is the US military won't be able to trivially smack the fuck down.

This has been coming since the Glow in the Darks fucked shit up and Carter fucked shit up and Britain fucked shit up.

Iran's had a hard-on for revenge for 40 years. Plane bombings, embassy hostages, embassy bombings. They've been at war with us since the Glow in the Darks fucked up their government.

So I guess they've decided it's about that time.

Guess they think they're ready to do something nobody's ever done.

Beat the US in protracted Sea/Air/Land Warfare.
Beat the US in the manufacturing race to replace destroyed equipment.
Beat the US in crash development programs for better warfighting tech
Beat the US in troop mobilization

Do we do well at nation building? No. Not in decades.

Do we do well at asymmetrical warfare? No.

Has anyone been able to beat us toe to toe no holds barred?

No.

But, I guess Iran figures they have what it takes.

Why the fuck not. Let's get it on.

I'm sure a country the size of, what, fucking Oregon, with a population of like, Alabama, and the manufacturing capacity of Southern New Mexico, and the resources of, my backyard if you discount oil, sure can beat the Hamburger Kingdom in all out war.

I agree with you here, WRT to US conventional military capability, but Iran is probably just going to rattle the saber publically while preparing some sort of covert ops style stuff behind the scenes. I can't see them being retarded enough to fight a conventional war with the US.

Here's hoping we see some commemorative stamps that are made depicting their wrecked export grade f-14's, t-72's with targeting and optics from the 70's and the charred corpses of their operators are made in the same fashion they made for those lost in operation eagle claw.

You know, it's kind of funny.

You know how Trump keeps "breaking rules" and "not fighting fair" and all that shit that the Dem's and the TDS REEEEEsistance keeps screeching?

This is a prime example.

Trump wasn't supposed to ice two fucking high ranking targets in a negligent and almost comical way. I mean, so dismissively just backhanded "sit down, bitch" slap.

He's supposed to strike a couple cities, or increase sanctions, or wipe out the rank and file foot soldiers around the embassy.

See, officers like that, they don't normally get killed. For a General to get killed? That shit's normally history book. It's usually after tons of manuevering, years of warfare, thousands of hours of combat, going down in glorious battle against 10X his few remaining troops numbers.

Not just BTFO by a drone strike while Trump sits around in his boxers, scratches his balls and eats another Big Mac with his feet up on the desk.

That's not how this is supposed to work.

That's not how any of this is supposed to work.

No photo ops, no knife fights with SEAL Team Six, no heroic escapes down tunnels, no last second escaping through the passes.

You get droned, or get your face ripped off by a dog.

Trump didn't deploy 82nd and 100 Marines for this guy. He did for the embassy. For the American citizens. To prevent another Iranian Hostage Crisis.

He just had some dude drone strike this faggot and went on with his day.

And that's just not how it's done.

The balls this faggot had to be in an easily drone strikeable position like nothing would happen to him. The world is better off without this piece of shit and I imagine this cocksucker was smiling that the american's wouldn't do shit until they turned him into a pile of ground beef.

I don't want to pin all the blame on him, but he's essentially the McCain of Iran minus the humility. Just dragging kids kicking and screaming into wars they have no interest in. Only difference is the Vietnamese mourned McCain, while the Iraqi's seem to be split down the middle.

The moment a war begins the sleeper cells of Iranians across the globe will spring in and terrorism will be widespread for a little bit, specifically against military bases and government buildings. After that when the Iranians government Ian overthrown the Armenians, Kurds Abdul Azerbaijanis of the north will begin to we've out the land for theirs and a clusterfuck will occur. Plus the hamburger empire of dumbfuckistab will loose all allies after and will get buttfucked hard
