بە توندی سەرکۆنەی هێرشکردنە سەر دۆست و هاوبەشی بەنرخی کوردمان، مەسرور بارزانی، سەرۆک وەزیرانی و نووسینگەکەی لە هەولێر دەکەین. ئەم جۆرە دەستدرێژییە بۆ سەر هاوپەیمانانی #کوردی جێی متمانەمان قبووڵنەکراوە و هەڕەشەیەکی ڕاستەوخۆیە بۆ سەر سەقامگیریی ناوچەکە. چاوپۆشی یا بێدەنگی لەم دوژمنکارییانە ناکەین. بە تەواوی پاڵپشتیی سەرکردایەتیی سەرۆک وەزیران عەلی زەیدی دەکەین لە گەڕاندنەوەی سەروەریی تەواوەتیی #عێراق و دڵنیابوونەوە لەوەی کە سەرجەم چەک و هێزە ئەمنییەکان لەژێر دەسەڵاتی دەوڵەتی عێراقدا دەمێننەوە. - باڵیۆز تۆم باراک

دوانزە ساڵ پێش ئێستا، گرووپە تیرۆریستییەکانی داعش جینۆسایدیان دژ بە پێکهاتەی #ئێزدی ئەنجامدا. ئەمڕۆ، یادی ئەوانە دەکەینەوە کە گیانیان لەدەستدا و ڕێز لە خۆڕاگریی ئەو ڕزگاربووانە دەگرین کە ئەو یادە بە زیندوویی دەهێڵنەوە. بەرقەرارکردنی دادپەروەری بۆ ئەم تاوانە دڕندانەیە گرنگە و هەروەها دەستەبەرکردنی ئاسایشی بەردەوام و خۆشگوزەرانی و پاراستنی ئەو پێکهاتانەی مەترسییان لەسەرە، بە هەمان شێوە گرنگە. ویلایەتە یەکگرتووەکانی #ئەمریکا پابەند دەمێنێتەوە بە کارکردن لەگەڵ حکومەتی #عێراق و حکومەتی هەرێمی #کوردستان و هاوبەشە نێودەوڵەتییەکانمان بۆ پاراستنی مافی بنەڕەتیی ئازادیی ئایینی و یارمەتیدان بە ئاڕاستەی بونیادنانی داهاتوویەک کە تێیدا سەرجەم هاووڵاتیانی عێراق بتوانن بە سەلامەتی و شکۆمەندییەوە بژین.

Twelve years ago, ISIS terrorists' groups carried out a genocide against the community. Today, we remember those who were lost and honor the resilience of the survivors who carry their memory forward. Justice for these atrocities matters. So does ensuring lasting security, prosperity, and protection for vulnerable communities. The U.S. remains committed to working with the Government of , the Regional Government, and our international partners to safeguard the fundamental right of religious freedom and help build a future where all Iraqis can live in safety and dignity.

SECURITY ALERT: U.S. EMBASSY BAGHDAD AND U.S. CONSULATE GENERAL ERBIL – AUGUST 1, 2026

Event: Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains
complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.

Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise caution and heightened vigilance and
should be prepared for flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel
disruptions. Some airlines in the region have postponed resumption of earlier flight schedules;
others have cancelled some routes. Americans in the region should consider departing, or be
prepared to depart should there be escalation.

Check your flight’s departure status with the airline directly or through:
- Baghdad International Airport: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/bgw
- Erbil International Airport: https://www.eia.krd/english/flight-information
- Basrah International Airport: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/bsr
- Jalal Talabani International Airport (Sulaymaniyah): https://www.sulairport.krd/

Americans outside the Middle East should seriously reconsider travel to and through the
region. Those who do travel to or from the region should monitor information about airport
and airline operations.

U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and
groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated
with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including U.S. businesses and
other institutions.

The situation in the Middle East remains fluid. The Iranian regime is unpredictable, as seen by
its recent decisions to attack areas in the region without warning or provocations as well as to
expand attacks to areas not previously targeted (such as Egypt). Americans should remain
vigilant, as merely because U.S. interests or businesses have not been attacked in a country in
the past does not ensure their safety.

U.S. citizens in Iraq are advised to maintain heightened readiness, monitor local media, and
follow instructions from local authorities. Travel disruptions and airspace closures could occur
on short notice. In the event of an attack, seek shelter and avoid falling debris.
Operating Status
U.S. Mission Iraq remains open while on ordered departure. Appointments for American
Citizen Services can be scheduled at U.S. Embassy Baghdad. U.S. citizens in need of
assistance may contact U.S. Embassy Baghdad at [email protected], or Consulate
General Erbil at [email protected].

Actions to Take:
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings.
- Avoid all areas where there is a heavy police presence.
