Were bringing you live from baghdad and latest pictures of the process which have been happening in the iraqi capital those protests have made their way towards the green zone reports that protest is happening gathering signs the u. S. Embassy now this follows the funerals of some 27. 00 shia fighters who had been killed in u. S. Airstrikes in iraq the shia armed Group Hezbollah brigades is promising revenge after those attacks certainly an angry and forceful response there from protesters lets check in with aljazeera simona faulty in she is joining us on the phone from baghdad as some want to youre in amongst those protesters what more can you tell us this hour. D either way from the u. S. And the koreans surrounded by hundreds a perhaps thousands of. Members or followers the majority of them are wearing military uniforms and waving flags of the popular mobilize a support system to help other brigades which is a force for good and what im seeing right now is people throwing stones actually at the watchtower each and at the gates of the u. S. And they can take one person at the moment with trying to climb a crowd as the creator goes toward of course its hard wire at the top that this is quite a difficult and never but many people trying to push him up and we can expect that many more people will try to 6 basically climb over the walls to actually reach the u. S. Embassy compound theyve also put up a lot of p. M. S. And his father brigade flag on top of the barbed wire on the wall that surrounds the u. S. Embassy now the question is how will the of authority react to this postcard from what ive seen and have marched together with just a procession from the other side of the river across the tigris into the 45 of them and no way to get any theory courses if i can pay with credit not prevent them from entering the court because we really only allowed for people who have a special collection or bad because of course housing many government institutions and persistent that white. Privilege is a quite remarkable im not sure what you can see but basically 100 stealth. Fighters by. U. S. Embassy going chanting anticar anti American Children and basically demanding a departure of u. S. Forces and what the fuck is this the man for the partial with us poor. Says the mourners its a sense reflective of a a change and a change in momentum a change in attitudes from people in iraq towards the us towards the u. S. Presence there. Well the majority i mean perhaps the vast majority of the crowd here are d and parts of the Popular Mobilization for the children a radiant. d d Paramilitary Group and of course 6 this group has particularly strong antiamerican sentiments the question is does the sentiment on this project really reflect broader iraqi public opinion. Had d months of antigovernment protests take place in iraq d many iraqis have rejected for interference and that rejection mostly aimed at iran but up story for us is also often criticized trying to crack is for meddling in internal affairs and this strike by the us on c. N. N. After the christians in our kind had been strongly condemned also not just by the internet but also for example by france as well as the as carney who is a really weird shia cleric and wields a lot of influence over which opinion in iraq and also seen people others who reject u. S. Interference of course describe here that im surrounded by has particularly strong. Ties us sentiments and its not necessarily reflective of product public opinion. Right now the protesters have parted burning a branches of palm trees and throwing them across a wall into the u. S. Embassy but there is probably also. The. Public that perhaps these trikes against the piano because they feel that the Iraqi Government is not doing enough to rein in these groups church seen as taking their orders from tehran perhaps i think with the support touch and its tight actually because if you look at all governments will do nothing. Really raining here and certainly 6 there is a Cross Section of opinions on iraq but this particular crowd here that had marched on the green zone didnt manage to reach the gates of the u. S. Embassy. Composed of tiananmen mantras have a particularly strong stance against u. S. Presence there. And the moon and just give us a sense of if its an indication with this protest continuing in a protest which is in a rather falsified part of the iraqi capital says suggest any kind of change in direction change in policy from the current iraq leadership and the rocky leadership most. Arounds are considerable pressure right now from the general population does this protest signify in some way that theyre moving cool so to either the uranian zor against the the americans should we read into this. Well i think that the months of antigovernment protests have shown a every year and older 6 government here is perhaps much stronger than many people would have thought and a actually a very fact Popular Forces that are responsible for a lot of the violence against the demonstrators and of course also the reaction that has come out of the guy a in response to the latest u. S. Strike was very much in line with the position of the Popular Mobilisation towards piers that. In arabic opposed to months of protest is not really willing to challenge the state basically going on a lot with d their hands and. A a could be actually devolved into a great strength to keep. One time the government began the u. S. Strike but very little Pretty Simple lots of rocket attacks many believe were perfectly read it why. Hundreds. Perhaps suspended the government only marginally but it had become a war doesnt really are entrance karen it was an action that we have to look forward to and the statements that we get from out of the government of the time 3 months but also yesterday in response to a u. S. Strike ok simona full teen well leave you for never thanks very much indeed for bringing us than update live from the protests in central baghdad 5 years just joining us a quick reminder of whats happening right now hundreds of iraqi protest has happened heard the green zone in baghdad and are attempting to storm the u. S. Embassy there condemning the u. S. Airstrikes on bases belonging to a rainy and backed shia militia in iraq and those bombings were launched on sunday against the hezbollah brigades in response to the killing of a u. S. Civilian contractor now the funerals of at least 27. 00 shia feiss killed in those airstrikes are taking place in baghdads along with those process lets cross live no to all to syrias Dorsett Jabari shes in the arena in capital tehran a door so has there been any reaction to the events in baghdad from the iranian capital. We have not had any official word yet we are waiting to find out if the government here will make any kind of comment on the scenes that are unfolding at the moment in the iraqi capital but the feeling here is that these scenes are to be expected the antiamerican sentiments that are currently on display in the iraqi capital have been present in the Islamic Republic over the past 40 years so there is a sense of camaraderie when it comes to the dislike and the stain that these protesters are displaying now in baghdad the iranians because thats what theyve been feeling here since the Islamic Revolution took place in 1079 the position here is that the American Forces present in iraq are violating the sovereignty of the iraqi people now the iranians have said that the airstrikes that were carried out are an example of how the u. S. Policy creates further chaos in iraq and that their friendship with the iranians friendship with the iraqi officials and government is not something that is up for negotiation they are not really affected by these attacks when it comes to the group that was targeted the hezbollah brigade that the iranians have said its very important to highlight the fact that these groups are part of the Popular Mobilization fronts and they are part of the Iraqi Government so its not as if they are an offshoot or an unofficial branch of the militias that operate within iraq so the revolutionary guard itself issued a strongly worded statement on monday saying that the sovereignty of iraq is not negotiable that the people really have the right to retaliate any which way they see fit and this is of course the scenes that were seeing at the moment now unfolding in baghdad and certainly as now this all comes amid a lot of protests happening in iraq with the iraqi people many of whom have been protesting against these groups saying that they are saying that this is on their sovereignty for viewers who are not familiar with the tensions of the situation just give us a sense of who the hezbollah brigades are and what link there is with iran. Well hezbollah in general the name has means the party of god it was formed at the request of the late Supreme Leader of iran Ayatollah Khomeini and he wanted a brigade that protect the ideology of what he did in iran with the Islamic Revolution that is what took place in the 1980 s. And that started in lebanon and since then the ideology is what is referred to when you hear the name hezbollah and that is the case that happened in iraq in 2003 so this brigade was not in any way shape or form by iran or irans backing but the ideology is what stemmed from the Islamic Republic and i told the khomeini himself when it comes to what they do that is really within the realms of the Iraqi Government but the ideology is one of shia islam and that they are protecting their interest in their own country and that is really what we believe to be the case when it comes to the term hezbollah the party of god its an ideology that is strongly strongly supported of course by iran and its leadership here wherever they may be this particular group in iraq is an example of what the United States has been using to target and put more pressure on iran and its government they say that these groups are really iran trying to assert its power in the region iran has denied these charges saying that they are not responsible for the actions of these groups that have such names its just a matter of that ideology ok. For now thank you very much indeed lets get more analysis on this now from allie nash me hes a professor of International Relations at. University he joins us on the line from baghdad a good to have you with us here on aljazeera and as were speaking to you were bringing you more pictures from those protests in baghdad 1st wilkie just give us your thoughts on these process themselves whats a significant do you think they are. No the purpose of their intervention sooner and they are surrounding the American Embassy and some of them they trying to. Enter the embassy and the need to exist in the. State run at least one of their things and somebody took me to go to chill out of the. 1000000. To. 20000 people from both of them. Holding your number. From stakes and they are sheltering against the United States. Mostly because if the day they are deny the fuse what american did the right with the. Right to stroll that attack but united we are this side of that will not stop the. People who sleep talking about the shah who they say that is many we are the one the shah be and that it may be brought. Before the shah be. Targeted. And 46 very old. Units and. That unit is linked with the iraqi army. And trying to get that american and other groups another brigade out of the. Chemical quite tucker did that unit very far and they have joined. The border with syria they are fighting. And. Wondered why they didnt attack who did it. Because there are many units in the hijab why they talk of that. Unit in the xabi and. The majority they are. German the very very little leaks were iraqi forces a little but in soldiers or no the officer between them the. Result of before to the result of extreme sort from the iraqi on top of the problem xabi them but people narrow streets they refused. Very loud and alert the streets of new doctors people but quarter for government. Work if people argue that america. And in terms of the white a context of this the fact that so many protesters have managed to make it in so this area of baghdad he managed to make it into the world to the gates of the u. S. Embassy we heard sarah leah from a correspondence that suggests that this protest was happening with the consent of the Iraqi Security forces and the iraqi army do you think that this suggests some kind of complicity with iraqi army that the Iraqi Government is starting to shift allegiances when it comes to its prefers international partners. You know medicare. New. Units of the shall be. Very strong. Beyond. A very weak and now you. May know them. Many are many many many people writing them both. And before. You know that it is many. Many. Times to. Just. Because they tell you we know who. We. Think and then then then why do they take that. Loving look to the side the literature between the. Government. And United States i think many things will happen the mixed result of the future is that a government you know that an. Agreement a little back between the government and united. That relationship now i think that maybe they broke. 3 months between the 2 or 3 then then maybe. The exit. Xabi but you know said we. Both in speeches that he said we must do you mean. We must unite and i must tell you how much. Something. You need. To do is all that money can possible. These these are not the only process that we have seen in iraq we have seen many many protests large parts of Civil Society have expressed displeasure. Not just with the Iraqi Government but also with groups who are allied to iran these particular protests which are taking place right now in baghdad how reflective do you think they are of the winds or public sentiment in iraq. Something because bush is very weak from before. Very bad. But i can say to many agendas and. Actions. We cannot say that is won by. Moving the books for. Many many. Many. Many conventions. Many many. I think. Most all of them because. Some. Of. The. Talkative iranian folks many of something very serious about. Some shouting this morning. Between the protests of. The majority this is the truth and this is our. 2 minutes of fighting. We must respect. I think we will. I think. To stand and. Ok and its great to get your thoughts thank you so much there just been hearing from. A professor of International Relations who has been joining us on the line from baghdad lets bring in another voice for you this is. On a list. Of iraq expect t. S. Foundation thank you once again for joining us here on aljazeera as we cover these protests taking place in the rocky green zone. The iran the u. S. Embassy in baghdad if you could just where we were hearing there from from up our previous guest. In saying that he thinks these protests are likely to break up in an hour or so emigration whats your sense of these protests do you think they are spent pain is so they were plunged to last for an hour or so and will likely dissipate. When you can describe whats happening in the 3 main subjects number one we have with a very weak government that cannot actually secu the International Institute an International Embassy then International Organizations in iraq so its a very bad message to the International Community technically and they will be some sort of acceptance of withdrawal of the American Forces to deploy all of us or we did government over even in the. In the demands in the general demand there will be a problem because all of those forces will withdraw from iraq so that means were going to be. Face to face again with the 3rd thing which is i think the also very important issue the explanation happens it looks like there is a real problem between to one in washington and i think i had a d sense that the now because of. The johnson came to to the guard to. Be i call it a better job to treat but then young king and maybe trouble came again that we did a triple president of the trade took full president ial fight in a very important areas of the world that need good leave of a good to have happen 2003 you know debate on bush so i think. There are became more sensitive about ghosting and maybe maybe low. We have now seen a car so dangerous message against any American Interest and military so it will not stop the American Embassy and maybe it will stop maybe in syria in yemen and also maybe in. To show you guys how much those very dangerous but also show you also how much you feel very. Negative. For the iraq at the very core iraq. In iraq you government should be comfortable to of whats happening here and do you think the Iraqi Government has made a mistake than an ally when this protest to take place and to get so close to the u. S. Embassy or do you think the Iraqi Government simply had no other options really. Did forget about 1 6 or that well be lucky government has failed actually to secure those International Institute International Security pir in iraq particle its all been about one hour according to my estimation by the way maybe again it will turn out ok. And in terms of. Their the sense that iraq is really caught between this this this winds or power play between to her and washington and but in the middle of this were almost forgetting the the iraqi population on the whole you have to ruin their own problems with the Group Hezbollah<\/a> brigades is promising revenge after those attacks certainly an angry and forceful response there from protesters lets check in with aljazeera simona faulty in she is joining us on the phone from baghdad as some want to youre in amongst those protesters what more can you tell us this hour.

And in terms of. Their the sense that iraq is really caught between this this this winds or power play between to her and washington and but in the middle of this were almost forgetting the the iraqi population on the whole you have to ruin their own problems with the Iraqi Government<\/a> do you think these protests that were seeing reflects broader concerns of the iraqi population or do you think the iraqi population would not be supportive of these scenes. I think the accurate question. Didnt stray ssion will give iraq a more good services. Employee like. A less number of unemployment will shrink the corruption in iraq over a few things ive seen in the mind of all of iraq even the demonstrators. But all those things are going to be many more in. With the with whats happening in iraq this is the main question because even if we even did locations happens now in front of the American Embassy<\/a> it does not mean that. The media didnt question again the buffer to a shadow of iraq he will not walk down there and block the iraqis one bit different. Maybe its also a way to try to convince iraq just to. To say to them ok we have a general call youve got about 7 people have been breached so we should be together against who breached the subject. It can be acceptable for a period of the iraq to divide its clear we need your government we need you we need early elections we need. A new way of thinking about the situation in iraq it cannot be handed over over it by. All the problems to the outside ok and midrash degrades again thank you so much indeed for bringing us you another live from baghdad lets check back in again with aljazeera has some wonderful scene shes at that protest and joins us now on the phone as someone who was been happening where you are. Well we have really withdrawn to around 2 to 300 meters away from the u. S. Embassy because a situation like this coming. A with this crap out of. A p. M. S. Members and supporters showing stones at a a the walls and the watchtower d of the a embassy they also burned d trees and try to throw a things branches across a while and some people even tried to climb the wall now just 2 minutes ago i heard what sounds like sounds grenades being deployed i cannot. D if indeed its d going to be for perhaps a life fire and who is using it but perhaps a there could be some efforts to to push d this d out of a supporters a a. As the Security Forces<\/a> that are here in the green zone who are a supposed to protect the green zone and to show a. Including the u. S. Embassy of course d a largely been standing by these crack d pass and get right up to the outer wall of the u. S. Embassy and they still 9 a appear to be really. Much to try to disperse the crowd and make the leap and simoun intentions the iraq Security Forces<\/a> i understand that youve been pushed back some 2 to 300 meters but are they likely to intervene or is this process happening and being in naples by the Security Forces<\/a>. Who argue we are meant to be defending the foreign embassies in that india. Its just us who have pulled back but the a crowds are still very spicy us and the 2nd actually see some smoke rising now which some of the more concrete and perhaps some. D a a of the Security Forces<\/a> have clearly a not received any orders to try 9 to prevent the scrap from gathering a peace that they have received orders to let this procession pass d because suppose to be a funeral procession of course for those killed and that they have allowed and come right a to the gates of the embassy 9 of course this is a sign that the Iraqi Government<\/a> is supporting 9 this funeral procession a approach a and its also supporting implicitly at least the message 9 that this crowd is trying to pass the u. S. Namely that their presence a here on iraqi soil is no longer welcome ok some wonderful scene there he is live for us on the line from baghdad thank you very much indeed.

Well there is been no official reaction just yet we are still witnessing these events unfold in the iraqi capital but the sentiments that weve seen being shared from here over the past 24 hours about those airstrikes have been quite severe the revolutionary guard issued a very solemn story today about new office on monday condemning the u.
