US Embassy in Iraq warns: Baghdad could be attacked by Iran-linked groups

The US embassy in Iraq has warned that Iran-linked militant groups could carry out attacks in central Baghdad in the next 24-48 hours, urging Americans to leave the country.

Iran and its proxies have already attacked American citizens and US-linked targets in neighboring Iraq, the embassy said in a post on "X".

"They may intend to target American citizens, businesses, universities, diplomatic facilities, energy infrastructure, hotels, airports, and other locations perceived to be connected to the United States, as well as Iraqi institutions and civilian targets. Terrorist militias have targeted Americans for kidnapping. American citizens should leave Iraq now," the post said.

The US Embassy in Iraq has repeatedly warned American citizens to leave the country since the conflict with Iran began in late February. / CNA
