After months of violent anti-government protests in Iraq, anger has turned towards neighbouring Iran.
Demonstrators stormed the Iranian consulate in the holy city of Najaf - before setting fire to it on Wednesday.
A number of people were killed in the crackdown which followed, adding to the hundreds who've died in the last two months of protests.
It's the strongest expression of anti-Iranian sentiment in recent months - with demonstrators accusing Tehran of supporting the government they're trying to fight.
It comes after similar attacks on Iranian properties in Karbala earlier this month and in Basra last year.
So, will Iran review its role in Iraq?
