Americans are being told to get out of Iraq now, as the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad warns of looming attacks by Iran‑aligned militias and the capital turns into a danger zone for its citizens. The urgent alert comes just as a U.S. journalist, Shelly Kittleson, is kidnapped off a central Baghdad street while covering the U.S.–Israel war on Iran, forcing Washington to admit that American civilians have become prime targets in the spiralling conflict.
