The warning from Washington is blunt: "Leave now." The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has issued a Level 4 security alert, urging all Americans to depart Iraq immediately as the 2026 conflict with Iran enters a volatile new phase. Despite a fragile regional ceasefire, Iran-aligned militias are reportedly planning imminent strikes on U.S. interests, with the embassy alleging that elements of the Iraqi state are providing these groups with political and financial cover. From Baghdad to Erbil, the risk of being caught in the crossfire has reached its highest point in years.
