The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has called on American citizens in Iraq to maintain heightened vigilance and warned of possible travel disruptions or sudden airspace closures, according to journalist Barak Betesh (i24NEWS). The warning adds to a series of recent U.S. diplomatic security advisories across the region. As The Zioneer reported on June 7, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem previously ordered shelter-in-place for staff over drone and missile threats, and the Embassy in Jordan issued a similar shelter advisory on June 8. On June 9, intensive U.S. aerial activity was reported over several Iraqi cities, and on June 10, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel was reported to have hinted at possible regional escalation. The Baghdad advisory does not specify a particular threat, and no airspace closures have been confirmed at this time.
