Amid escalating Middle East tensions, Iran-backed militias in Iraq have issued threats against the US Baghdad Embassy following Israel's October 26 airstrikes on Iranian targets and US backing for Israel, but no evacuation order has been issued. The embassy operates under Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory with reinforced security, while US forces conducted defensive strikes on militia sites in Iraq and Syria earlier this month. US-Iraq bilateral talks advanced on October 9 toward transitioning coalition operations to bilateral advisory by September 2025, preserving embassy presence. Traders monitor potential militia retaliation, diplomatic de-escalation signals, and post-US election policy shifts as key catalysts.

Announcements of a partial evacuation, where some staff are intended to remain, will not count.
The resolution source will be official statements from the U.S. government, or a consensus of credible reporting confirming the evacuation of the embassy.
