周一,美国驻巴格达大使馆因全国范围内安全威胁升级,敦促在伊拉克的美国人就地避难,待进一步通知。
在一份警报中,大使馆建议美国公民提高警惕,避免人群聚集,并在针对美国的持续骚乱和示威活动中保持低调 —— 此前伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊去世。
该使馆表示,抗议活动(尤其是在巴格达7月14日桥附近)已演变为暴力冲突,促使伊拉克当局关闭巴格达市中心的国际区,仅保留有限例外情况。
美国驻伊拉克使团还指示所有工作人员就地避难,并暂停领事业务,包括日常服务。

官员称,伊拉克领空目前已关闭,旅客被建议直接联系航空公司获取最新信息。
美国国务院对伊拉克维持“四级‘请勿前往’”旅行警告,敦促美国人因任何原因不要前往该国,并建议在伊人员审查个人安全计划,考虑在条件允许时撤离。

美国驻伊大使馆在X平台发文称:“与伊朗结盟的恐怖组织继续对公共安全构成重大威胁,伊拉克领空持续报告导弹、无人机和火箭弹活动。”
近年来,美国在伊拉克的军事存在发生转变,伊拉克官员1月宣布正式将阿萨德空军基地从美军移交给伊拉克控制。

伊拉克国防部称,此举是与美、英、法、意、西等国建立长期安全合作的过渡措施,重点在于培训和咨询支持。
伊拉克官员表示,国际联军计划在2026年9月底前按约定时间表从埃尔比勒总部撤离。
The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Monday urged Americans in Iraq to shelter in place until further notice, citing heightened security threats across the country.
In an alert, the embassy advised U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution, avoid crowds and keep a low profile amid ongoing riots and demonstrations against the United States following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It said protests, particularly near the July 14th Bridge in Baghdad, have turned violent, prompting Iraqi authorities to close the International Zone in central Baghdad with limited exceptions.
The U.S. Mission in Iraq also directed all staff to shelter in place and suspended consular operations, including routine services.

Iraqi airspace is currently closed, officials said, and travelers were advised to contact airlines directly for updates.
The State Department maintains a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory for Iraq, urging Americans not to travel to the country for any reason and advising those already there to review personal security plans and consider departing when conditions allow.

“Iran-aligned terrorist militias continue to pose a significant threat to public safety,” the U.S. embassy said in a post on X. “Reports of missiles, drones, and rockets in Iraqi airspace continue.”
The U.S. military presence in Iraq has shifted in recent years, with Iraqi officials announcing in January the formal handover of Al-Asad Air Base from U.S. forces to Iraqi control.
