Streets to call for greater democracy. Im phil gal welcome to the program. Iraqs army says protesters have now left the u. S. Embassy complex in baghdad after militia leaders called on them to disperse American Forces guarding the compound fired tear gas to repel the demonstrators angered by u. S. Airstrikes washington deployed more troops to the embassy if the compound was breached by iran backed shia militia men on tuesday. The new year has begun with a fresh political crisis in baghdad more clashes broke out between pro running demonstrators in u. S. Troops. Light protesters pulled back but they were a god they were trade is a victory of the united states. We achieved exactly what we intended we pulled back triumphantly and we wrapped americas nose in the dirt. They may have had little choice but to leave more u. S. Troops moved in to reinforce security at the embassy early on new years day washington deployed 750 Rapid Response forces to stop demonstrators again breaking the perimeter of the massive u. S. Embassy thousands of kilometers away more u. S. Troops have been preparing to travel to the middle east its a sign of just how seriously the trumpet ministration regards tuesdays events the president has accused iran of focus training the embassy protest but terences its the knowledge states its acting aggressively because. They find some excuse to attack iraqi soil and martyr people i strongly condemn this crime by america and i do so on behalf of the government and the people of iran. She says attack was one of the worst on the u. S. Diplomatic mission in years and it is further escalated tensions between washington and tehran and already difficult relationship. Pressure make it is covering this story from baghdad welcome pascha whats the situation at the embassy now. Things are quiet in down most of the people who are outside the embassy attending and there have now left after they received orders from militia commanders telling them to leave the embassy. As we heard in the report the u. S. Says it is now deploying more troops how is that likely to affect the situation i think it will continue to increase tension between us and iran and iraq. And iran back groups are very clear that they want u. S. Troops to completely leave iraq getting reacting to airstrikes what occurred a few days ago and us doing the opposite that i think these are people more attention of the country has been struggling with protests for months now and now we see these attacks on the u. S. Embassy but just explain to us what were talking about 2 completely different sets of people with different grievances they were having a completely Different Group of people so the people who were outside of the u. S. Embassy majority of those people were supporters from the iranian backed militia groups that were targeted by the u. S. Air strikes if you go they came following the rules of some of the people whove been killed in the airstrikes and theyre going to be very much related to the airstrikes that people have been protesting for the past few months of much wider grievances theyve been calling for you know the downfall of some of the political elites who they say are responsible for widespread corruption within our arc and many of them in fact i have expressed a love and iranians sentiment theyve been saying that they want iraq to be independent from both iran and america and to be renovated archys what has been the Iraqi Government. To the attacks only american embassy. The Iraqi Government has very much condemned the u. S. Airstrikes on the go when it came to the embassy attacks you know and they said that they are against them but at the same time and if you talk to curb within the green zone and you know for months now in the demonstrations against the governmental teachers have been trying to flush into the green zone and have not been able to and in this case they were able to there were also several prominent politicians present or near the near the protests in front of the embassy so the objections been mixed and so given the fact that those processes have crossed into the green zone on the presence of those politicians there must be the concerns have that perhaps theres been some collusion. There definitely are concerns i think that it would be very odd if. The you know supporters of these that groups were able to cross into the green zone without there being some sort of agreement from the former Security Forces it but at the same time you know things are still developing nothing is 100 percent clear good talking to you thank you for joining us of pressure on the gate in baghdad.
