Considering the fact that it was the Iranians who were behind this attack on their embassy, you can understand why the Americans were not too chuffed about it ...
Iran is trying to take over Iraq, but the Americans still have bases there, there is still a large military presence in Iraq ....
And if you remember there was serious talk a few years ago about America and Israel attacking the Nuclear Material Manufacturing Facilities that the Iranians have, so all this could be a pretext for American and Israel military forces, going and kicking the living crap out of Iraq
