>> FOX NEWS ALERT, SUPPORTERS OF
THE IRAQI MILITIA ARE INSIDE THE
US EMBASSY COMPOUND AFTER
BREAKING DOWN THE GATES.
JILLIAN: THEY SET FIRE TO A
RECEPTION AREA.
THE IRAQI MILITIA VOWED TO
RETALIATE FOR US MILITARY
AIRSTRIKES.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
WHAT WE UNDERSTAND IS HUNDRED OF
DEMONSTRATORS STORM THE US
EMBASSY IN BAGHDAD.
ALL OF THIS IN RESPONSE TO US
AIRSTRIKES IN IRAQ AND SYRIA
THAT KILLED 25 MEMBERS OF THE
IRAQI SHIA MILITIA GROUP, WHAT
WE KNOW ABOUT THE EMBASSY
STORMING TODAY, THERE'S A GLASS
BARRIER BETWEEN US EMBASSY
GUARDS AND THOSE SUPPORTERS OF
THE IRAQI MILITIA GROUP.
THEY ARE STILL SEPARATED BUT
IMAGES SO FIRES SET OUTSIDE THE
MC COMPOUND, SMASHED GLASS AND
HUNDREDS STORMING THE EMBASSY.
THERE ARE REPORTS OF
EVACUATIONS.
WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM
THOSE REPORTS BUT THERE IS
LIMITED POLICE PRESENCE ON THE
GROUND IN BAGHDAD.
ALL OF THIS AFTER THE IRAQI
PRIME MINISTER PROTESTED THE US
DECISION TO LAUNCH THIS
OPERATION IN THE FIRST PLACE
CALLING IT A VIOLATION OF IRAQI
SOVEREIGNTY.
THERE ARE 5000 US SERVICE
MEMBERS ON THE GROUND HELPING
IRAQI SECURITY FORCES FIGHT THE
ISLAMIC STATE.
THIS IS BEEN AN ONGOING
OPERATION BUT SOMETHING THAT
COULD HANG IN THE CROSSHAIRS AS
A RESULT OF THE DECISION BY
DONALD TRUMP TO STRIKE THIS
IRANIAN BACK MILITIA GROUP.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF OUTCRY BY
SENIOR OFFICIALS IN BAGHDAD FOR
AMERICANS TO STRIKE WITHIN IRAQI
SOVEREIGN TERRITORY.
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THIS
WILL AFFECT FUTURE AMERICAN
IRAQI RELATIONS WITH THE LATEST
INFORMATION, HUNDREDS OF IRAQI
DEMONSTRATORS INSIDE THE US
EMBASSY COMPOUND IN BAGHDAD AS A
RESULT OF THOSE STRIKE THAT LEFT
25 IRANIAN BACKED MILITIA
MEMBERS DEAD.
JILLIAN: MARK -- MIKE POMPEO
ELABORATED ON THIS SAYING IT WAS
A DEFENSIVE ACTION AND THEY TOOK
A STRIKE AT AN AMERICAN
FACILITY, DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN
PATIENT AND MADE CLEAR WHEN
AMERICAN LIVES WERE AT RISK WE
