The US Embassy in Baghdad remains fully operational amid persistent threats from Iran-backed militias, with no ordered evacuations or partial withdrawals announced in the past 30 days. Recent militia rocket and drone attacks on US positions in Iraq and Syria—such as the January 28 incident near Erbil—prompted US retaliatory airstrikes on militia sites, yet the State Department has reaffirmed its commitment to diplomatic presence to counter Iranian influence. This stability reflects Biden administration policy prioritizing targeted responses over embassy pullouts, echoing 2020 Soleimani tensions that saw temporary non-essential staff departures but no full evacuation. Escalation signals, diplomatic negotiations, or major attacks could shift dynamics ahead of any market resolution date.
