The United States has threatened that its embassy in Baghdad will be closed and diplomats withdrawn unless Iraqi government stops militia attacks on the US embassy. Mike Pompeo (Secretary of State) told Iraq’s president Barham Salih in a phone call that if Iraq’s government does to act urgently to stop Iran-backed militias from striking American installations, the US government will withdraw its diplomats from Baghdad. Since the United States killed Qassem Soleimani (Iranian general) in Baghdad, attacks on US targets in Iraq have increased.
