Thousands of protesters and members of multiple Iran-backed groups thronged the gates of the U.S. embassy in Baghdad in fury at U.S. airstrikes in Iraq.

U.S. planes on Sunday attacked bases belonging to an Iran-backed terror group, killing at least 25 and wounding dozens of others. The attack on Kata'ib Hezbollah was in response to the killing of a U.S. civilian contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base.
