We are getting contradictory reports from Iraq today.
Protesters breached Iraq’s presidential palace on Monday after an influential Shiite cleric announced his resignation from politics.
A video released on Monday showed U.S. Embassy employees in Baghdad being evacuated by military helicopter for safety.
US officials are denying the report of evacuation.
The White House denied reports that it had evacuated the US Embassy in Baghdad on Monday and called for calm as violence threatened to further destabilize an already tense situation in Iraq…
Videos quickly spread across social media showing diplomats being driven away from the Green Zone.
But Washington denied it had whisked away any of its staff or diplomats.
“Reports of an Embassy evacuation are false. Ensuring the safety of US government personnel, US citizens, and the security of our facilities remains our highest priority,” a White House official said in a statement.
We may have to wait a few days to see what actually happened. I suspect that the two sides are disputing over the precise meaning of “evacuation.”
