Iraqi protesters storm U.S. embassy? Maybe they're not really Iraqi civilians

Headlines in every Mainstream Media outlet: "IRAQI protesters storm U.S. embassy in Iraq!!"

So...authentic Iraqi civilians outraged that the U.S. struck IRANIAN forces in Iraq, eh Media?

"SEE, voters??!  Da eeebil OrangeManBad made this AWFUL decision to strike Iranian forces in Iraq, endangering Iraqi citizens!  Yep yep yep!!  Just one more impeachable offense!"

Except they're not.  According to this guy they're really Iranian-backed Shiite militia trying to make the world media think Iraqis are outraged about U.S. attacks on Iraq's traditional enemy, Iran.  Hmm...

The “Iraqi protesters” besieging the US Embassy in Baghdad are Iranian-backed Shiite militia belonging to Hezbollah and other paramilitary orgs that are trying to give the impression that they’re just civilian protesters.

They’re an astroturfed “Popular Mobilization Force.” pic.twitter.com/8r9zE8i4Xz

Below is the wall of our embassy.  Know anyone who can read Arabic/Persian or WTF this is?  Guy who posted this claims it says "Qassem Soleimani is our leader."  Soleimani is the leader of Iran’s Qods Force.  He built the Iraqi militias.

Wait...Iran and Iraq are historic enemies.  Why would the people storming the embassy--ostensibly jus' plain ol' Iraqi civilians--write something like that, eh?  Uhhh....




Here's a pic of the crowd outside our embassy.  Guy who posted the pic says the guy circled in red is Falih al-Fayyadh, head of al-Hashd al-Sha’bi (the Popular Mobiliazation units) the official umbrella organization of the pro-Iranian Shiite militias.   Beats me, but should be possible to confirm.  If true, it's Iran...again.
