The U.S. Embassy in Iraq sent an alert on June 11 that non-emergency U.S. government personnel were ordered to leave the country because of “heightened regional tensions,” while the embassy in Israel said it is limiting government workers’ movement.
The embassy in Iraq also advised American citizens to “not travel to Iraq due to terrorism, kidnapping, armed conflict, civil unrest, and the U.S. government’s limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Iraq.”
