US Embassy in Iraq warns of increased potential for violence, attacks targeting Americans

The US Embassy in Iraq said on Sunday it is aware of an increased potential for violence or attacks against US-owned businesses and locations frequented by Americans.

“We urge all US citizens in Iraq to avoid locations frequented by foreigners and any large gatherings or crowds,” the embassy says in a statement.

On Thursday last week, the US Embassy in Iraq evacuated all non-essential personnel in anticipation of Israel’s offensive in neighboring Iran.
