Several hundred people protested against the US-Israeli strikes on Iran near the US embassy in Baghdad, AFP journalists report.

Protesters gathered near Baghdad’s Green Zone, where the US embassy is located, and some tried to push past security forces to enter the area but were blocked.

They waved Iranian, Iraqi and pro-Iran armed group flags and chanted slogans such as “death to Israel”, “death to America” and “for you Khamenei”, referring to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
