US mission in Iraq tells nationals, personnel to shelter in place

The U.S. embassy in Baghdad said Monday it directed U.S. nationals and mission personnel to shelter in place, warning of threats posed by Iran-backed groups.

"The U.S. Mission in Iraq advises U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution, maintain a low profile, and shelter in place until further notice," the embassy said, adding that it had directed all staff to do the same.

The embassy warned that "Iran-aligned terrorist militias continue to pose a significant threat to public safety."
