The situation in Iraq near the "green" zone continues to get more dangerous. It's the second night of demonstrations and protesters have reportedly been seen shooting randomly towards security forces with small arms. #Baghdad #GreenZone #Iraq #KhameneiAssassination

Security forces responded with a volley of fire, it's not currently clear if or how many demonstrators were injured. Update - Additional angles appear to show that this was tear gas and flash bangs. #GreenZone #Iraq #Iraq #KhameneiAssassination

Earlier in the night Iraqi's in Baghdad filmed security forces rolling tanks near the Green Zone. The US has the world biggest embassy in the zone and it's described as "overlooking the Tigris River". It's not clear the number of US troops in the area but due to the embassy they are some there. The US still has a few thousand military advisers so the US might be in command of some of the elements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Zone #GreenZone #Iraq #Baghdad

Aside from the active clashes and missile strikes the propaganda is in full swing. Iraqi Resistance groups who have been pounding US troops stationed at installations in Erbil Iraq all weekend showed off glimpses their underground base where their store their drones and ballistic missiles. The video shows their perspective, as they fired missiles this weekend. Images of Iconic recently martyr leaders line the caves walls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Resistance_in_Iraq #OSINT #Iraq #Erbil

“Leaked files expose Britain’s covert influence campaign in Iraq” by Kit Klarenberg in The Cradle @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@lemmy.ml @iran@iraq@mastodon.social@palestinenews@gts.liberated.press@uk_politics “Leaked documents describe an elaborate campaign built during the war against ISIS, with Baghdad’s youth-oriented news and social media platform Yalla at its center. They detail how a British government contractor planned to use its considerable reach to shape attitudes among Iraqis while keeping London’s role out of sight. The files raise questions about who directed the messaging, who paid for it, and what Yalla’s audience was told about its supposed independence” https://thecradle.co/articles/leaked-files-expose-britains-covert-influence-campaign-in-iraq #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Britain #Iraq #Influence #Yalla #Covert #Funding #Saatchi #ForeignOffice #BehaviourChange
