In Baghdad, pro-Iranian protesters are trying to break through to the American embassy, which they consider responsible for the escalation of the situation in the region. This was reported to Izvestia on March 2 by journalist Khalil Al-Murshdi.

"The stated goal of the protesters is to cross the bridge and head directly to the building of the US Embassy in Baghdad, which they consider to be directly responsible for the incident," the publication says.

It is noted that the situation on the ground remains tense. The crowd is trying to storm the concrete fences at the diplomatic mission. Angry participants are also chanting slogans.
