U.S. Guards Fire Tear Gas On Embassy Protesters In Baghdad

Pro-Iranian protesters gathered outside a building in response to US airstrikes that killed 25 and wounded dozens of an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq. The protests escalated as some protesters breached the US embassy compound, setting fires and breaking windows. In response, President Trump blamed Iran and ordered the deployment of 750 US troops to the Middle East, with additional Apache helicopters and Marines sent to secure the embassy. Iran denied involvement in the protests, while its supreme leader issued a warning against threats to the country.
