Embassy compound in iraqs capital baghdad after a 2 day siege leaders of the Popular Mobilization forces ordered them to leave but theres a condition they want to Iraqs Parliament to vote on a timeline for the withdrawal of foreign troops aljazeera some of the full team reports from baghdad. They left just as they had arrived a day earlier determined and angry but also pleased that they had managed to deliver a message to the us supporters of the iranian backed Popular Mobilisation forces who had defied the Prime Ministers orders to withdraw just a day before now heeded the call of their leaders while some dismantled tents and ferried away supplies used to camp the night out the more defiant ones staged a final showdown in front of the embassy gates burning tires and flags to the sounds of antiamerican slogans u. S. Was let out of from our country we dont america we cant. To ourselves more done to really young fighters who hurt out. Killed i says road turned them gone through. The attack on the u. S. Embassy was sparked by the latest u. S. Strikes against hezbollah brigades which is part of the Popular Mobilization forces the majority of the crowd consisted of its members and supporters but some here say they were also driven by what they perceive as an unjust american policy in the region this is my land and if you want to stay here you must understand its. When the governments believe and understand. Its we can leave. As crowds withdrew u. S. Helicopter circled overhead after reinforcements arrived from kuwait the night before the white house had pressured the Iraqi Government to end the standoff but it was clear that of floridas here didnt want to risk confrontation Iraqi Security forces surrounded the embassy but use no force to remove the crowds or the Iraqi Governmental forces have been put on a very confusing and sensitive position as i mentioned they have a very Sharp Partnership and an alliance with both countries the u. S. And iran so the Iraqi Government has to prove to the u. S. That its taking either a neutral stance or its protecting the u. S. Embassy because thats what a government has to do. And yet to the outer gates of the Embassy Burned and vandalized bear witness to the Iraqi Governments inability to protect the u. S. Presence here the speech here at the u. S. Embassy appears to be coming to an end with u. S. Trade Iraqi Counterterrorism forces now taking over the security and basically securing the area of the browser but the hezbollah brigade has said that this is just the 1st lesson for the United States they have vowed that they will not stand down until they see a full departure of u. S. Forces from iraq before the monopole to al jazeera but without fear a secretary of state might compare us spoken to a number of washingtons regional allies about the situation in iraq is subzero as cable is on the reports from washington. Just because the immediate threat so to speak is dissipated outside the u. S. Embassy in baghdad does not necessarily mean everyone in washington is calling with how everything is going and is moving on to the next thing no theyre not this is still very much a big crisis here in washington are seen as that of what happened my pump ala the secretary of state speaking to regional allies in israel iraq and qatar he spoke to the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu about iran who the u.
