The US State Department spokesman filed baseless allegations against Iran after angry Iraqi protesters attacked the United States Embassy in Baghdad.

Iran Press/America: Morgan Ortagus on Wednesday, in an interview with Fox News, blamed Iran for the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad.

Ortagus brazenly called Iraqi protesters rallying in front of the US embassy "terrorists".

Ortagos continued to call the Iraqi protesters who rallied outside the US embassy "terrorist" in their rude remarks.

The US State Department spokesman also claimed that the Trump administration's policy against Iran had worked.

The US embassy in Baghdad became the scene of anti-American protests Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thousands of Iraqis rally in front of the US Embassy in protest of the recent US airstrike on the positions of the Iraqi People's Mobilization Forces "Hashed al-Sha'abi" in al-Qaim city in western Anbar province.

Demonstrators attacked the US Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday 31 December to condemn US airstrikes, causing Iraqi security forces and compound guards to fire tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowd.

Last Sunday, US drones targeted brigades 45 and 46 of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) also known as al-Hashd al-Shaabi in the al-Qa'im city on the Iraq-Syria border in al-Anbar province. At least 25 people were martyred and 51 others were wounded in this attack.

he United States is immediately deploying 750 additional troops to the Middle East and more in the coming days after Iraqi protesters stormed the US Embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
