Travel warning from the USA to Iraq

The US Embassy in Baghdad warned its citizens not to travel to Iraq, citing security risks such as armed conflict, terrorism and kidnapping, as the Iranian-backed Houthis' attacks targeting civilian airports and critical infrastructures in Saudi Arabia escalate.

In the travel warning update published by the US Embassy in Baghdad, it was reported that no change was made in the travel warning level or risk indicators.

In the statement, which called on its citizens to "Do not travel to Iraq for any reason", it was stated that the US government's ability to provide emergency services to US citizens in Iraq was limited due to security risks.

The statement noted that the Houthis' attacks against Saudi Arabia caused civilian casualties and serious disruptions in travel, and warned that these hostile actions could escalate rapidly and spread beyond the current conflict areas.
