On Tuesday thousands of Iran-backed militia had stormed into the US embassy in Baghdad and laid siege on the embassy. They were said to be supporters of Kataib Hezbollah militia.
The siege ended on Wednesday after the embassy had received extensive damage.
The retreat signaled an end to a crisis in which thousands of angry militia supporters attempted to storm the embassy Tuesday, protesting the deaths of 25 militia members in U.S. airstrikes Sunday.
