The US Embassy in Baghdad has warned Americans inside to leave Iraq “immediately.”
A security alert posted by the embassy cites “indiscriminate attacks” carried out and threatened by Iran-aligned terror militias – including a missile attack that hit a helipad at the US embassy Saturday inside the fortified “Green Zone.”
“Iran-aligned terrorist militias have attacked the International Zone in central Baghdad on multiple occasions,” the embassy wrote in a statement posted on X. “Repeated attacks have also occurred in the vicinity of Erbil International Airport and the Consulate General. Do not attempt to come to the Embassy in Baghdad or the Consulate General in Erbil due to the ongoing risk of rockets, drones, and mortars in Iraqi airspace.”
US citizens should “leave immediately,” although commercial flights don’t currently exist. The embassy advises land routes through Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
