Employees from both the U. S. Embassy in Baghdad and its consulate in Erbil will be affected by the order.
The alert, published on the embassy website, comes after Washington last week said it had detected new and urgent threats from Iran and its proxy forces in the region targeting Americans and American interests.
On Sunday, the embassy advised Americans to avoid travel to Iraq, citing “heightened tensions.”
Referring to the embassy and the U. S. consulate in Erbil, the statement from the embassy said “normal visa services at both posts will be temporarily suspended”.
