Angry protesters stormed the US embassy in Baghdad after the US attacked an Iranian-backed paramilitary group.
There were dramatic scenes at the United States embassy in Iraq as supporters and members of the Iranian-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) surrounded the compound in Iraq's capital, Baghdad.
Their demand: an end to American intervention in the country.
They threw rocks and set fires outside and security personnel responded with tear gas.
The US then deployed marines to secure the compound, before the protesters' leaders told them to withdraw.
President Donald Trump has blamed Iran for the demonstrations - Tehran denies being involved.
