OAN Newsroom – President Trump has condemned Iran over an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. He took to Twitter Tuesday, saying Iran will be held “fully responsible” for orchestrating the aggression. The president also said Iran’s deadly assault on an American contractor led the U.S. to respond with airstrikes on Iranian-backed Hezbollah over the weekend.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) also sounded off on the storm of Iraqi protesters in Baghdad. The Florida lawmaker said Iran is responsible and should be held accountable.
This comes after dozens of Iraqi’s successfully broke through the windows of the compound and lit the building on fire. Multiple U.S. diplomats and troops have reportedly been evacuated. The violence follows U.S. retaliatory airstrikes on Sunday, which killed at least 25 Iranian-backed forces.
The above is an excerpt from One America News Network.
Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. 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!

Very proud of President @realDonaldTrump acting decisively in the face of threats to our embassy in Baghdad.
He has put the world on notice – there will be no Benghazis on his watch.

The left and the establishment GOP want war with Iran. I hope President Trump isn’t slipping into something he might regret here.
True, but in this case, he SHOULD ORDER the troops to SHOOT TO KILL all attackers of our embassy.
That sounds very reasonable and right. The bully government in charge needs to be toppled and executed.
And then promptly put a few cruise missiles into Tehran.
Attacks on a country’s embassy is like an attack on that county itself.
Embassy’s around the world represent the soverign soil of the country they represent.
So…
Blast the crap out of ANYONE that threatens, much less damages, said embassies.
The era of the “watch terrorists run rampant” libtard administration (oBOZO the muslim lover) is done.
That’s why when i, first saw this news article on the afternoon Fox news, i was like “WHY are they only responding with mere teargas rounds???”
Just get it over with and bomb Iran back into the Stone Age…
I wonder. If after we dropped the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we’d have gone on to bomb the entire mid east out of existance, how much BETTER the world would be now days?
Kill them all.
“There will be no Benghazis” unlike obama and clinton, Trump has nothing to hide, so there is no reason to let people die just to cover your own ***.
At least we no longer have to wonder if the president of our country means what he says.
Glad our President did what he did it’s about time that we have A President that keeps his word and not a kiss *** and not a Traitor and a liar like our Last So Called President was to the United States. Now it time for the American Citizens to step up and kick these Governors And Mayors into the Sewer Farms that have made our States, City’s and Towns into Sanctuary for Illegals that have Broken our Laws by Sneaking across our Borders. It time for the American People to stand up to these Turn Coat Politicians Take Back our United States of American. The only thing the Democratic Party is worrying about is losing the Gravy Train that most of them have been Riding all the years that they have been in power, They care nothing about the American Citizens. Come Election Time Re-elect The People’s President Donald Jay Trump In 2020,Help him to keep American Great and with The American Citizens help he will continue to make and keep our Country The Greatness Country on the face of Planet Earth .
There will be no Benghazis
This is not the weak corrupt Obama/Klinton admin. and Iran would do best to learn that.
I still wanna know, WHY were the guards already there, NOT SHOOTING THESE RAIDERS?
Eternal vigilance and swift retaliation should be hallmarks of our foreign affairs relationship:
1. Be very sure that the accused is actually guilty.
2. Surprise the evil person(s) with overwhelming power.
All too often, America has followed a slow tit-for-tat escalation of hostilities. (Think Vietnam.) Instead, deliver a knock-out punch by sending a missile through the bedroom window of the enemies’ Exulted Leader and openly threaten the next-in-line for a follow-up if further provocation occurs…and back it up, if needed. Also, rain down decisive destruction on their military installations and the homes of their senior officers. If their legislative body offers resistance, bomb their meeting place and the homes of its leadership.
Make it perfectly clear that America sincerely wants to live in peace with all peoples of the world but we will not tolerate attack upon our territory or that of our allies.
The velvet glove approach has proven ineffective. The iron fist guarantees respect.
Agreed. FOr FAR too long, America has been too PEACENIK for my liking. If an enemy bombs one of our installations, we should take out TEN OF THEIRS.
