The U.S. State Department updated its travel warning for Iraq advising Americans against traveling to the region a day before President Donald Trump authorized strikes that killed the Iranian regime’s top military official, Qassim Soleimani (also Qassem Soleimani), near Baghdad International Airport.
The update renewed the travel advisory level to “Level 4: Do Not Travel” and listed “terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict” among the reasons why American travelers should avoid traveling to Iraq.
