Newly released photos reveal the extent of damage inside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, after the building was stormed by some Iran-backed militiamen and their supporters in retaliation for the United States conducting “defensive strikes” on targets related to the group in Iraq and Syria.
Photos of the damage were released on Jan. 1 by The Associated Press, and show the charred remains of a reception room, shattered windows, and scattered debris inside the embassy compound.
