Clashes between demonstrators and police at the heavily secured Green Zone at the US Embassy in Baghdad

For the second time in one day, demonstrators tried to enter the heavily secured Green Zone, where the American embassy is located. The crowd was dispersed, but ambulances arrived on the scene. Emergency workers reported cases of asphyxiation from tear gas and said they heard shots from real bullets.
The government press service said some protesters had opened fire on security forces and set vehicles on fire. Injured people were taken to hospital. According to the government, the security forces “did not use firearms despite being under fire.” Three people believed to be involved in the shooting have been arrested.

Health authorities confirmed that four people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. In addition, 66 others are suffering from breathing problems as a result of the tear gas. Earlier in the day, the US embassy had warned that protests near the complex could turn violent and urged fellow countrymen to remain vigilant and avoid large gatherings. There would be threats against “American interests in Iraq, including restaurants, businesses and individuals.”

Calls to join the demonstrations circulated on social media through accounts linked to pro-Iranian armed groups. Iraq, an ally of Iran, declared a three-day national period of mourning on Sunday following the death of Ali Khamenei in an Israeli-American attack on Tehran. The government called it “a blatant act of aggression.” Although Baghdad has recently experienced some stability, it emphasized that it does not want to be dragged into the conflict between Washington and Tehran. However, several Iranian-backed Iraqi militias said they will not remain “neutral” and will defend the Islamic Republic.
