The warning cited ongoing threats from Iran-aligned armed groups, which it said continue to plan attacks targeting US citizens and interests across Iraq, including in northern regions.
According to reports, the embassy also alleged that certain elements linked to the Iraqi government are providing political, financial, and operational support to these armed groups.
It further noted that Iraqi airspace has reopened and limited commercial flights are operating, but warned that risks remain from missiles, drones, and rocket attacks, advising travelers to remain cautious.
