    This is a truly unhinged tweet. If Iraqis actually took this orange clown seriously then the streets of would turn into rivers of blood.

    In 1991, an American president called on Iraqis to rise up. It ended in hundreds of thousands of Iraqis being slaughtered by a dictator while American planes flew overhead.

    Iraqi security forces seem to be regaining control of the situation around the American Embassy in . They’ve managed to push protestors away from most of the compound’s exterior, but not before they set fire to two of the gates.

    This is actually wild. The airstrikes didn’t just kill and injure members of Kata’ib Hezbollah but also Iraqi soldiers and policemen. You bombed Iraqis on Iraqi soil. You did so after the Iraqi PM expressly told you not to do it. Where was the meaningful relationship then?

    To our Iraqi allies: This is your moment to convince the American people the US-Iraq relationship is meaningful to you and worth protecting.…

    I’m pretty sure. The guys in green fatigues are Hashd. The lads in black have been patrolling the exterior of the embassy, trying to tame the chaos.

    What Baxtiyar conveniently doesn’t mention is that these two soldiers are Iraqi security forces that are actually protecting the embassy. But whatever, carry on.

    Who’s gonna explain to these airheads that [🇱🇧] Hezbollah and [🇮🇶] Kata’ib Hezbollah aren’t the same entity? 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Not sure there’s a better way to sum up American foreign policy than invading Iraq as part of the “war on terror” only to have our embassy stormed 16 years later by Hezbollah with the direct support of the Iraqi government we put into place.

    1. While many of them are Hashd members (wearing fatigues), most of them are actually the family members of those killed by the airstrikes. They came from the funeral. 2. Calling them “militias” when they’re unarmed is pushing it. A militia is a military force. Thanks you 🙏🏼

    Dear Western media, please do not call them “Iraqi protesters” and help mix the cards as they wish, they are Iranian backed militias who are clearly asking you to mention that, please do no ruin the image of the civil…

    Your airstrikes killed and wounded members of the Iraqi Army and Police, not just members of a group tied to Iran. Now you need the Iraqi Army and Police to protect your Embassy. That’s a bit on the nose, orange boi.

    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!

    The situation is about to get a whole lot worse: American soldiers have fired tear gas at the “protestors” outside the American Embassy in . [Feel a bit silly calling them protestors when most of them are wearing military fatigues 🙄]

    For weeks, anti-government protestors tried to enter ’s Green Zone but were held back with shocking levels of violence. But these gentlemen were allowed to stroll into the GZ and walk right up to the American Embassy without a single obstacle in their way. Interesting.

    Yes, the pro-Iran camp in Iraq has been utterly devastated. In other news, the pro-Iran camp in Iraq just evicted the American ambassador and his staff from their own embassy.

    Make no mistake, yesterday’s attack by the US has rattled the pro-Iran camp in Iraq, who haven’t experienced this devastation for a long time & can no longer be confident of operating with carte blanche & impunity. The airstrike has diminished & dented their aura of invincibility

    You killed individuals from a country that is hosting thousands of your soldiers, on the soil of said country, in order to punish ayatollahs in another country? The unwavering bloodlust of neocons is truly a sight to behold.

    U.S. strikes against Iranian-backed Shia militia groups in Iraq and Syria are overdue, but a good first step. The ayatollahs must pay a steep price for their ongoing support for terrorism.

    I spent yesterday afternoon in Baghdad’s Shola district. It isnt hard to see why people have had enough of having to settle for the status quo. While cleanliness is a community’s responsibility, the lack of services & paving by Baghdad Mayorality is disheartening to say the least

    Saddam’s brutality was responsible for the deaths of millions of Iraqis. Millions. Multiple wars, endless massacres, horrific barbarity, hundreds of thousands buried in mass graves, ethnic cleansing, religious suppression and abject poverty for millions more. Blessed day.

    Replying to @IraqiSecurity
    Blessed day? Killing is never blessed. And the aftermath of this execution was more chaos, murder, and even worse government than that of Saddam's.
