The US Embassy in Baghdad reiterated its warning on Monday against travel to Iraq, urging Americans already in Iraq to "leave now."
"Do not travel to Iraq for any reason. Leave now if you are there," the embassy said in a security alert.
She warned that Iran-linked militias in Iraq continue to plan further attacks targeting American citizens and American-related interests across the country, including northern Iraq.
"Certain elements affiliated with the Iraqi government continue to actively provide political, financial, and operational cover to these terrorist militias," the embassy said.
Iraqi airspace has reopened, with limited commercial flights now operating, noting that Americans considering air travel should remain aware of the ongoing risks from missiles, drones and rockets.
"The U.S. Mission in Iraq remains open during the ordered evacuation to assist U.S. citizens in Iraq. Please do not attempt to come to the Embassy in Baghdad or the Consulate General in Erbil due to significant security risks," the embassy added, urging U.S. citizens to contact officials at the embassy and consulate via electronic means.
The renewed warning comes amid regional hostilities, after the US and Israel launched joint strikes against Iran on February 28. In response, Iran retaliated with attacks on Israel and other regional countries hosting US assets.
The war has been on hold since the sides announced a two-week ceasefire on April 8, brokered by Pakistan.
