- Iraq has denounced the United States for a drone strike its capital, Baghdad. A spokesperson for Iraq's prime minister said the attack was pushing his government to end the mission of the US-led coalition in the country, describing the mission as a source of instability in his country. The strike killed three members of a powerful Iran-backed militia, including its leader, and was conducted without prior consulation with Iraqi authorities.

#Iraq #dronestrike
We're going to lose all kinds of sleep over Iraq's denouncement.
Their announcements are mostly to reinforce the false notion that it's sovereign - and aren't occupying south Kurdistan. Hence, they allow Turks and Iran to bomb and kill Kurds then make an announcement about them breaching Iraqi sovereignty without doing anything else. Kurdistan is the elephant in the room and their all in cahoots with each other against it.
So, YOUR responsible for this decision to target Iranian backed militants in Iraq. I thought it was the federal govt of the United States that chooses what to do and keeps making unpopular decision like staying in Iraq even though the majority of Americans want to withdraw from the Middle East.
@@guardianoffire8814 Foreign policy isn't a popularity contest genius. All Iraq has to do is tell the U.S. to remove its forces and they will. It is telling that they protest publicly, but make no such request.
😂😂😂😂
I know😂
US is playing chess Iran is playing checkers
No ... everybody else is playing chess and the US is simply trying to push the game board over but also doesn't want to at the same time. None of this is indication of success but of decline. Iraq's govt doesn't want American forces to stay in their country and have been demanding US withdrawal and voting over it every year.
@@guardianoffire8814 You are so full of it that your eyes are brown. If Iraq wanted U.S. forces to leave, they would. But Iraq knows better. Iran is violating Iraq's sovereignty all the time. Otherwise how would the U.S. be killing Iranian troops in Iraq and Syria? Iran interferes in every country in the region with their active support of terrorism.
@@guardianoffire8814as the man said, the troops are there at the request of the Iraqi government
So when they allow strikes against the troops that they requested to be there - there must be a response
Its really iran trying to flip the chess board, because they never learned how to play
Enemies of the US play chess. US plays with its food.
Hamas playing naughts and crosses
To quote the ancient wisdom of our forefathers.. "Don't start none, won't be none."
😂
And George Washington: "Mess around, and find out"
Perhaps Iraq government should do something about the militias firing missiles and drones at the troops that they themselves invited to be there?
The Iraqi govt doesn't want the United States to be in their country forever. It's basically an occupation as the White House has ignored several times demands for US forces to withdraw and still do. Under international law the locals do have a right to fight back. The US officials and pundits on television just choose to ignore that reality.
they were not invited. in 2003 US invaded Iraq and killed about million civilian while doing soo. have u been living under rock all this time?
"Invited" lol
iraqi parliament submitted the rule to expel US troops in 2021. Iraqi gov also has requested US to leave iraq. Just walk in the streets of middle eastern countries to find out people's feelings about US.
@@Zoro-hn1jv
You got a link to support that? And nothing from AL Jazeera please
You can tell how sovereign Iraq is when America launches drones inside the capital without warning and when America refuses to leave, despite the Iraqi government asking them to (and yes, Kirby is a liar).
you'll note there was no air defense mounted by Iraq
@@icu17siberia What exactly is to note here?
If WE leave there will be a further loss of sovereignty?Translation:We won't leave because we want to project power 10000 miles away from our shores.
Its not like iraq & iran ever got along.
They fought two horrible wars between each other.
The result did not make them any friendlier towards each other.
But 2+2=10 to you
That's when Saddam was in Charge. Remember over there they play by cave man rules. Since Saddam was a Sunni they fought against Iran who are Shia. There of course other issue for the war but now, Iran basically runs Iraq as a proxy. @@datboib3432
what are you talking about you have no idea.... the US has bases in Australia too , you really think thats about taking sovereignty and projecting power... ever heard about a thing called keeping the peace? just like you walking a friend home at 2am at night in a bad neighbourhood. It was IRAQ that used to ask and beg for USA help before , you cant change yoru mind now those bases cost a lot of money and the US pays for most of that, look at all the army equipment Iraq has bought from the US yet they pretend to hate them at the same time, noboody forces them to sign a contract with lockhead martin. More like Iran is making donations into Iraq leaders bank accounts and this is what you get..... people with no ethics or morals trying to play both sides
iraq doesn't want the US to leave despite what they say. they never considered withdrawing their invitation. they are surrounded by enemies and they know it.
@@datboib3432 So US is there to befriend them? Make that make sense.
Hey you fired first . You asked for this . Well you got it
Boohoo, you’ve attacked us over 160 times and when we retaliate you wanna cry
Ohhh, imagine that, they are not happy after you got lied into war with Iraq in 2003, destroyed the country, and all just to make the richest people rich. Why would they not like you over there I wonder. 🤔
They attack us in us?
They attack because you occupy the region and shield Israel despite their actions in Gaza.
The attacked over 100 time but the last staw was the attack on u.s troops in Jordan 🇯🇴@@fengkuangyu7116
I guess they were expecting us to hit innocent civilians like they would
😂😂
...this was in retaliation literally for a strike on a military base. Not saying it isn't justified, just don't misrepresent what's going on.
@@youraveragebreakfastcereal5285 Fells like a perfectly fine "Proportional Response". Don't touch our people, or our boats.
Oh yes 30,000 dead in Gaza and counting 70% women and children and Americans never hit civilians right right? ICJ talked plausible genocide about aliens on the moon right. Thought so
I love that DW has their host just speak his mind in his own words instead of just reading pre-canned questions from a teleprompter
😂
He is not a talk show host
DW will destroy itself
@@evilsimeon ok?
Um, isn’t that the whole point of striking leadership? These Iraqis sure are smart.
You can’t fool them.
Maybe Iraq don't really care. Maybe their protests are for domestic consumption to appease their population?
So whenever anyone else played in Iraq besides the US, its okay, but if the US does something it is automatically wrong. Sounds like Daniel has strong political bias instead of an objective, researched-based conclusion.
well DUH, we even broadcasted it a week before it happened
They can cry harder. Don't like war? Then don't start wars.
Are you talking about the US ... pick any nation in the middle east, add central America, and why not Indochina as well.
The US has successfully spread misery and terror over the past 23 years in many ocuntires (Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Congo, Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan and Lebanon). Remember WMD in iraq? That was a big lie. The US is the main aggressor, always has been.
@@the_grand_tourerstop attacking the u.s an the u.s wont attack you simple as that
@@40dgameing 'Simple' is the word.
@@the_grand_tourer yeah
The fact Iraq is mad about this is pretty suspicious
US has every right to defend themself, Iraq should start doing something about its religious clans.
Defend themselves in Syria? If Russia stationed troops in Hawaii without permission of Pentagon oh sorry I meant US government, what you think would happen? Oh, you do not think, maybe that's the problem
Dude framing the situation in this way literally is the worst take on the subject. The US is NOT defending itself, the US is millions of kms away. The U.S. is participating in international relations, and in IR, sometimes you get bitten. This happens. And you can bite back, it is perfectly, totally fine. However, when people say 'the US is defending itself' it frames the sentence like the country is under attack, when in reality, its people would be much safer if only they stayed inside their continent, which is reserved only for the country itself. Stop acting like US is under threath or sth, just makes you seem like a goof.
@@Danny-hu9tv God i can see the IQ of the average Trum...ph suppoter has gone down a lot in recent times.... listen to this guy THE US is millions of kms away its not your problem? SO if Australia starting killing all the American tourists in Sydney is that US problem too ? you should sit there and ignore it ? its the exact same thing... teh US has the right to protect its own every country does that
I have several friends from middle Eastern countries and they simply told me when I asked about their governments.... That "some people, you have to rule with a stick."
Iraq says repeatedly WE WANT the US out!!!
Those screaming for the US to leave, Iran has in their pocket.
It's been said that the Iraqi government will publicly denounce the US presence in their country, but privately wants them to stay.
of course, they don't want to be puppets of the Shia thugs
@@andrewgonzales8943 iraq is majority shia
@@DarkRei7barely. It's like 55% Shia.
@@billnye4213that's what majority means...
@@Abm5544 I never said it wasn't. I'm just pointing out that it's a small majority because I think that's important.
And no civilians casualties.
Get out from Iraq
The anger in Iraq is blown way out of proportion. Every news media howls about the crowds protesting, yet the crowds that are protesting are actually pretty small and most definitely way smaller than the student protests that the Iraq government and Shia militias put down quite violently. If the Iraqi regime had at any point decided to put the brakes on the Militias none of this would have happened.
Is this happening in your country? No? What business is it of yours?
@@alanhat5252. Someone needs to teach you about what news is. Global news. Humans are the only animals who can relay info outside of their own experience. If they’re evolved, that is.
Excellent show. I really like this guest and the skill of the interviewer.
News people WILL ask the tough questions in Europe.
Iran is making its move in iraq
Its the job of IRAQ to condemn IRAN since Iraqi government request assistance for security and anti terrorist stability
OOOOMG, US troops are “invited,”????
oh-well
The political calculation was to tell their enemies that they are not safe.
At the end of the day it’s about oil and religion.
Yes, US hegemony has nothing to do with it 😂. Tell me you're uninformed without telling me...
If the US will announce it’s attacks, these iran backed militia leader will surely fled ro safety, knowing the cowards that they are.
Host our enemies, you become an enemy.
yeah why did Iraq start buying US military equipment if they hate America so much... it was there choice, they could of bought French or Russian... hard to trust any country in the middle east
yeah lets let iraqi authorities know so that they notified the iranians lol
clearly its hurting the people where it needs, their heart...
Bradley Bowman says it clear and loud, 100% Agree
It was an assassination. So what. Iraq wasn’t doing anything about the militia groups.
They should've put Bradley Bowman and Daniel Gerlach on at the same time so they could exchange together. Both Men made very good points and it would've been very interesting to hear their exchange.
Iraq wants it both ways. Americans would love to see the country reduxe its middle.east presence and related military spending, this isnt 2003 and the us is no longer depedent on middle eastern oil.
What a fall from the days of Operation Neptune Spear, at least try to be subtle about it.
Either the USA acted alone on this strike, or Iran & Iraq gave intel to the USA to sacrifice these Militia Leaders to stop a broader campaign.
or Mossad or Five Eyes or any of a dozen other agencies spying in the region.
note there was no air defense in any of these strikes
why are the Persians in an Arab country anyway? Iran provides no aid to Iraq, so what's their interest there?
wrong
America would never leave Iraq asked them to.
it as Iraq that bought US military equipment and asked them to help them , why should USA leave without compensation they paid for the bases
iraqi parliament submitted the rule to expel US troops in 2021. Iraqi gov also has requested US to leave iraq
yeah right, according to you.
Feel like Iraqi people are the part of militias/ supporters of the militia.
A few probably are. Most are just people trying to live life
Places like Iraq are made up of many and varied communities, all with different views and beliefs. Just look at Iran - they are the number one agitator in the middle east, but the people of Iran are sophisticated and warm people, and would overthrow their fundamentalist regime very quickly if that regime was not holding a gun to their heads. This is about the groups that hold power - and weaponry.
@@bec5250it’s quite sad to be honest …
Just like the US. Militias have families. Americans just think they can only be right and fight for their land and no one else can. It's like incomprehensible. They are literally like us but different.
Oh make no mistake there are plenty of
Iraqis militia members ..
However.....most Iraqis are Sunni.
Not Iranian Shia.
Bradley Bowman is typical American arrogance.
Iran better be careful. Ijs.
This dillema highlights exactly why the current Iranian leadership needs to go. Anyone funding terrorism needs to be held to account, or this constant cycle of terror and war will never end 😑
America does what they want anywhere in the world
Pretty much. Anywhere that terrorists are foolish enough to attack our troops.
ohh really ? you do knwo they could kick Russia out in 2 weeks from Ukraine and destroy there Navy in a month if they wanted too. They sure do not do what they want at all
Don't play with the big dogs unless you are prepared for the consequences.
Agreed . Don't play with china . You are not in same league
Are they going to denounce Iran for constantly undermining Iraq sovereignty? Is Iraq going to help the US with these Iranian terrorist Nd the US has troops in Iraq at the Iraqi Governments request to help with ISIS because they couldn't do it alone...
With out their permission to kill the enemy, like that would ever happen
Iran! Stop calling it isis its called Iran
That's not correct. They're both problematic, no denying that, but they are two separate entities who also do hate each other. Like how ISIS and the Taliban do not like each other.
Isis and al-Qaida created by USA and its allies like Saudi and israeli ...Iran deafeted both of them ...
@@Mahbu Taliban is ISIS' father and Iran vs ISIS is like Protestantism vs Catholicism during the fanatical religious days in Europe.
@@Mahbu Two sides of the same coin. Religious fanatics using terrorism to further their goals.
I would gone away.
The countries in the Middle East need to decide - do they want peace and take the necessary steps? At the moment some try to wiggle position - whom they want to please or to they try to confuse?
Guess they forgot about our dead 3 soldiers that occured the week b4
...in a completely different country!
Well yeah ...
what happened? i thought they wanted the smoke? did they not want the smoke? im sorry i was to believe they wanted the smoke. welp they got the smoke....
The next move is Iraqs. The drone strikes did not scare Bagdad although the anti-americans naturaly make a show of outrage. Terrorists thrive on chaos, division and weakness. Rhetoric like Daniel's helps the terrorists, especially if it is adopted by American alies. America may leave but then you'll see real chaos. The Iraqis aren't pulling their weight. Maybe the US should leave.
The anchor interview the wrong person lol ja ja ja
America should leave other countries n respect their sovereignty. I guess it’s proved by now that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq!!
Honor just like Afghanistan? Righ
Iraq must know their role and shut their mouth.
Midevil mentality at its best, IRAN
Wow 😦😳
Lots of censoring of comments here
bradley bowman is a vampire!!! My god ...... just look at him ....
"slams!" lol. more like tweets like a bird.
Is this guy serious?
Victim card time.
Of course it was a blatant assassination. That's the idea.
Thats what you get by supporting iran
8:02 this is a better interviewee but it's still pretty plain you've warned him off mentioning the obvious connections to israel & its genocide in Gaza.
Womp womp skill issue. Iran quit yapping.
what?
Ope! Newest recipient of the "Ninja Bomb"
If Iraq says US forces to leave Iraq will the US leave ?!
Everyone knows the answer anyway 😂
Didn't the Iraqi government already ask the US to leave?
Whom are you asking?
didnt they ask for US support and bases there? they even signed billions of dollars worth of contracts for US equipment as well just look at all the US equipment in the Iraq army now !!!
yes, they asked USA to leave after USA blew up General Suleimani in Baghdad in December 2021, they again asked USA to leave in January this year.
The USA has the malaise of appeasement.
Hello from New Zealand!I started watching DW when I first vistited Germany in 2000 I was struck by how comprehensive the journalisim was and the Presenters weren't shouting their heads off like CNN or BBC 😁
2:00 So, blowing up the car of a terrorist leader amounts to attacking a city, according to DW?!
An uninvited & unannounced missile strike within a foreign capital city does tend to be considered a bit hostile.
Imagine if it happened in your capital city?
@@alanhat5252 I wouldn’t consider the elimination of a terrorist leader in my city hostile, on the contrary.
@@paololuckyluke2854Really?
Well, I suppose you do have Israeli-trained Police killing people on your streets every day so you're obviously used to foreigners doing your policing for you.
Most countries get upset about it though, even to the point of starting a world war about it in June 1914.
If a bad host invites you, you simply don’t pay him a visit.
What about the Iranian isis types dispersed in asian states who want to form brics kind of movements and also using technology to control people in a way etc😅😢
Obviously
The Iraqi government has been "threatening" to kick out U.S. forces from their country to the media, but behind-closed-door meetings, they reaffirm that the U.S. stays. The Iraqi government does not want Shia militants running wild as they did in Faluja back in 2005, but at the same time, they don't want to antagonize Irian's Shia government.
I think that is clear. I think Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq have a diff opinion to that of the government
Didnt iraq ask usa to leave already
no they didnt , they just signed more military equipment deals from teh US look at wikipedia, there hypcocrital to the extreme... what next Belarus is going to de-nounce Russia as there enemy ?
no, they voice it all the time but would never actually ask the US to leave. they have too many enemies at the door.
Funny
Iran did their share of assassations
half-way across the world?

American dont want to leave IRAQ. Because there's OIL like Syria...😂😂😂😂😂
America should worry about their own country and stop occupying other countries.
Don't let Andreu give his 2 cents no more...This thought process is why we are not liked in many places. I thought we were there to help protect the Iraqi government? Now they are suppose to protect our troops yet we have all the technology and weapons!

i wonder if the americans said ( allahu akbar ) before they set off there bombs
If they’re from Michigan they did
Would the US need to be in Iraq if they hadn't removed Saddam Hussein ......
...or if they hadn't installed Hussein in the first place.
USA bombed the country flat leaving radioactive bullets everywhere, walked away & said "oh look, Iraq is a mess, how did that happen? Let's blame Iran".
There not gonna do anything so why speak up
Iraq most be without Iranian influence
