Iraqi protesters in the southern city of Najaf burned down the Iranian Consulate there on Wednesday night in an outburst of anger at Iran, witnesses said. Video showed sizable crowds outside the consulate shouting “Out, out Iran!” and waving Iraqi flags as the building burned. This was the second attempt in a month by protesters to burn the Iranian consulate in Najaf. In the first attempt, Molotov cocktails were thrown over the consulate walls but the flames were put out and the damage was limited.

No Iranian diplomats were in the building at the time, according to witnesses and Iranian news media, and there were no reports of Iranian casualties. But the attack struck a significant symbolic blow against Iran, which places a high value on its outposts in the Shiite Muslim heartland of southern Iraq.

The attack on the consulate comes amid widespread antigovernment protests, which began nearly two months ago in Baghdad. The demonstrations started as a demand for jobs and better government services but have broadened into a call for a change in government, which the demonstrators see as corrupt and beholden to Iran.

目击者称，周三晚上，伊拉克南部城市纳杰夫的抗议者们出于对伊朗的愤怒，一气之下烧毁了伊朗驻伊拉克领事馆。视频显示，随着火势蔓延，大批人群在领事馆外挥舞着伊拉克国旗并高喊“滚出去，伊朗滚出去!” 这是抗议者们一个月内第二次试图烧毁伊朗驻纳杰夫领事馆。在第一次行动中，燃烧弹被扔向了领事馆围墙，但火势被扑灭，避免了更多的损失。

据目击者和伊朗新闻媒体称，当时大楼里没有伊朗外交人员(已全部撤离)，也没有伊朗人员伤亡的相关报道。但此次袭击对伊朗是一次重大的象征性打击，因为伊朗对其在伊拉克南部什叶派穆斯林中心地带的哨所一直是高度重视的。

领事馆的袭击事件发生在近两个月前在巴格达开始的大规模反政府抗议活动时期。游行示威起初是要求政府提供工作和更好的服务，但后来发展成为要求政府下台，因为在示威者们看来，政府腐败，且受制于伊朗。
