The American embassy in Baghdad has been attacked: the USA urges citizens to leave Iraq

The American embassy in Baghdad was the target of an attack on Saturday, in the context of airstrikes against a pro-Iranian armed group, resulting in three deaths.

The United States has urged citizens to leave Iraq immediately, following the attack.

A military base near Baghdad International Airport was also attacked with drones, causing a fire.

Iraq has been drawn into the conflict generated by the war between Israel, the United States, and Iran, and pro-Iranian groups have intensified attacks on American soldiers.

Saturday's attack is the second against the embassy since the beginning of the war, which coincided with attacks on Hezbollah Brigades, resulting in the deaths of three fighters.

These events reflect the escalation of tensions in the region and the risks to diplomatic personnel.
