Shafaq News- Baghdad
On Sunday, the US Embassy in Baghdad warned of potential
attacks targeting American-linked institutions in Iraq, including universities
in Baghdad, Al-Sulaymaniyah, and Duhok, urging US citizens to leave the country
immediately.
In a security alert, the embassy said Iran and Iran-aligned
armed groups have carried out attacks against US citizens and US-linked targets
across Iraq, including in the Kurdistan Region, and could target diplomatic
facilities, universities, infrastructure, and civilian sites, noting risks of
attacks on airports and hotels, possible kidnappings, and continued threats
from missiles, drones, and rockets.

region in response to recent attacks on Iranian higher education institutions.
