The US Embassy in Iraq is warning its citizens not to take flights in the country after it recently opened its airspace, following closures during the US-Israel war on Iran.
“Individuals considering air travel within Iraq should be aware of the ongoing potential risks posed by missiles, drones, and rocket-propelled grenades in Iraqi airspace,” the embassy said in a statement on social media.
“Iraq’s Iran-aligned terrorist militias continue to plan additional attacks against American citizens and US-associated targets throughout Iraq.”
US citizens were advised: “Do not travel to Iraq for any reason. Depart now if you are there.”
