What led to the embassy riot? U.S. officials have said that for months, Iraqi militias — backed by Iran — have been firing rockets at Iraqi military bases where some U.S. troops and American contractors are stationed. Last Friday, a rocket attack killed a U.S. contractor in northern Iraq. The U.S. responded with airstrikes on five compounds in Syria and Iraq belonging to a group it blames for the rocket attack, the Iranian-backed militia called Kataib Hezbollah, meaning Hezbollah Brigades. The militia says at least 25 of its fighters died. After funeral processions Tuesday in Baghdad, militia members and their supporters marched into central Baghdad and the fortified Green Zone, straight to the U.S. Embassy. Iraqi security looked on but did not intervene initially. The militia members, who were not armed, didn't breach the high walls and barbed wire of what is one of the world's most heavily protected embassies. But they did batter their way into a large guardhouse gate building and set it on fire. They also burned a second, small guard post. U.S. Embassy security responded with tear gas and stun grenades.
What sparked the protests? Tuesday's protest took place after funerals were held for militia fighters killed in US strikes. The militia was an Iranian-backed force, the Kataib Hezbollah militia in western Iraq and eastern Syria. At least 25 fighters died in the US bombing of their bases on Sunday, which Washington said was a retaliation for the death of an American civilian worker killed during a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base. In response, an angry crowd breached a reception area in the US embassy compound, leading US troops to fire teargas to repel them. US marines were sent to the Baghdad embassy to boost security. US Defence Secretary Mark Esper later announced that about 750 soldiers would be deployed to the region. "The United States will protect our people and interests anywhere they are found around the world," he wrote in a tweet.
回复 1楼wyfyw的帖子 NPR之后的解释有点像是强行洗地了。各位见解如何？ Are these events connected to the other protests in Iraq? No, these are distinct groups with different — even opposing — views. Since early October, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been protesting against their government. Many are young citizens seeking real representation in a political system dominated by sectarian parties with corrupt leaders. They decry the stagnant economy. And they rally against foreign influence — namely Iran. Some demonstrators burned down an Iranian Consulate in southern Iraq in November. Those protesters are not the same as the militia members and supporters who attacked the U.S. Embassy. In fact, the Iranian-backed militias have opposed and even opened fire on the popular protests. Hundreds have been killed since October.

中共国永远站在邪恶的一方。
嗯这年头打人的有理，被打的邪恶
伊战连美国自己都定性为非正义战争，你这几个还舔什么舔呢
这地洗得很干净
不要讲得这么冲。误解我的意思了。
你搜一搜看，所有美国媒体的口径都是惊人的一致，为啥。冲击大使馆的只有伊朗支持的民兵，而示威者是反政府的，被军警打压，腐败的政府和伊朗勾结，blah-blah-blah。
政府难道不是民选的并且亲美的嘛，伊拉克军警难道不是美国训练培养的嘛。
BBC的报道稍微comprehensive一些。
怎么没有好日子过了。
库尔德人日子好过了。
什叶派也好过了，就是逊尼派猥琐点。
我假设你说的示威是之前的示威，那些示威和围使馆的不是一拨人，示威的是逊尼派多，围使馆的是伊朗指使的伊拉克民兵。
韭菜的血汗啊
胡说什么呢。美国在叙利亚哪有军事基地。美国在土耳其倒是有好几个重要的军事基地，并且部署了核武器。
