Marines arrive at the US Embassy in Iraq

It is noted that the US Department of Defense distributed photographs of the Marines, who were preparing to fly from Kuwait.

“These marines are already at the embassy (in Iraq),” the US Department of Defense said.

Earlier it was reported that the demonstrators set fire to the gates of the diplomatic mission in protest against the shelling of the Shiite organization Hezbollah by the US military.

The United States later deployed additional forces to protect the US Embassy in Iraq.
