The US Embassy in Baghdad has raised the travel advisory level for Iraq to the maximum—level four—and has called on American citizens to leave the country immediately. The risk is associated with potential missile and drone attacks that could be carried out by pro-Iranian groups.
Regarding this, elchi reports, citing the embassy.
According to the embassy’s statement, these organizations continue to plan attacks against US citizens and facilities associated with Washington, including targets within the territory of Iraqi Kurdistan.
“Furthermore, some structures associated with the Iraqi government continue to provide political, financial, and operational support to these terrorist militias,” the embassy’s statement reads.
Due to security concerns, Americans have also been advised to refrain from visiting the embassy in Baghdad and the consulate in Erbil.
