In Iraq and Pakistanis tried to storm US diplomatic missions

Anti-American protesters tried to storm the US representative offices in Baghdad, Iran, and Karachi, Pakistan. This was announced today, March 1, by a number of news agencies.

Videos circulated on social media showed protesters in Baghdad throwing stones at security forces, who responded by using tear gas. According to local sources, the main core of the protesters were representatives of radical groups who tried to break through the police cordons on the approaches to the diplomatic quarter. Security forces have erected barriers along the bridge leading to the heavily guarded diplomatic quarter, which houses the US Embassy and the buildings of the Iraqi government.

"So far their attempts have been stopped, but they are still trying to break through the security cordon," a source told the AFP news agency.

In addition, it became known that in Karachi, Pakistan, a crowd also tried to storm the building of the US consulate. Protesters tried to break windows and enter buildings through doors. In another video, demonstrators throw stones at the police, and law enforcement agencies use tear gas.

Recall, on February 28, the United States and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran. As a result of missile and bomb attacks, representatives of the leadership of the Islamic Republic were killed. In response, Tehran began shelling Israel and US military bases in the region.
