Donald Trump vows to hold Iran 'fully responsible' for attack on US embassy in Baghdad: Under-siege American soldiers wound 20 of pro-Tehran mob that stormed complex in retaliation for US airstrikes on Hezbollah

America! Fuck Yeah!

Donald Trump vows to hold Iran 'fully responsible' for attack on US embassy in Baghdad: Under-siege American soldiers wound 20 of pro-Tehran mob that stormed complex in retaliation for US airstrikes on Hezbollah 
American soldiers inside the embassy have fired tear gas, stun grenades and warning shots at hundreds of fighters who broke down the compound gate and set fires within the complex on Tuesday 
The ambassador was on leave at the time of the attack and embassy staff had already been evacuated before the US Marine guard became besieged at the compound 
Trump has vowed to hold Tehran accountable for the embassy attack, which is in retaliation for US air strikes on the Iran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah on Sunday night 
Those USAF strikes were themselves in retaliation for last week's killing of an American contractor in Kirkuk 'Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. 
We strongly responded, and always will.' Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning. 'Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!' 
The embassy's security team evacuated some local staff through a rear gate while others left by helicopter as the rest remained inside 'safe' areas within the embassy, an employee said 
Twenty people have been reported injured in the carnage by the pro-Iran Popular Mobilization Forces

The next headline needs to read, "Embassy attacked. Hezb'allah hardest hit." I would like to see us wear out Hezb'allah and then arm the resistance in Iran so they can protect themselves from the Ayatallahs and their Basiji thugs.

I hope Trump has that kind of vision.
