US embassy in Iraq tells American citizens to immediately leave the country

US citizens should leave Iraq immediately, the US embassy in Baghdad says in an updated security alert, following an overnight missile attack on the embassy’s building.

“US citizens choosing to remain in Iraq are strongly encouraged to reconsider in light of the significant threat posed by Iran-aligned terrorist militia groups,” the embassy says.
