(MENAFN- Live Mint) The US embassy in Baghdad has warned of a “risk of kidnapping” for its citizens in Iraq, as the Middle East war threatens American interests across the region.

“Iran and Iran-aligned terrorist militia groups pose a significant threat to public safety in Iraq,” the embassy said in a statement on its website Thursday.

“There have been attacks against U.S. citizens, U.S. interests, and critical infrastructure,” it said, adding:“Americans also face risk of kidnapping.”
