BAGHDAD, Jan 23 (Reuters) - An official at the Iranian embassy in Baghdad denied a report that U.S. and Iraqi forces were raiding its compound on Tuesday.

An Iraqi journalist said he had spoken to a colleague who had seen U.S. and Iraqi army vehicles surrounding the embassy. But an official who answered the telephone there said: "There is nothing happening ... There are no American forces here."

A U.S. military spokesman had no immediate comment.
