Protesters storm US embassy in Iraq after deadly airstrikes

"Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible," President Trump wrote on Twitter. His tweet came after dozens of angry Iraqi Shiite militia stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad shouting "Down, Down, USA!" The Iraqi protest followed deadly U.S. airstrikes that killed 25 fighters of the Iran-backed militia in Iraq, carried out in retaliation for the killing of an American contractor.
