Trump admin orders Baghdad embassy drawdown due to Iranian Gen. Soleimani killing anniversary
(Worthy News) – The Trump administration ordered a drawdown of diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq until some time in January due to risks of a potential attack, according to a new report.
Anonymous officials told The Washington Post that some staff members were withdrawn from the embassy for a “de-risking” period that will extend until after the one-year anniversary of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by a U.S. airstrike on Jan. 3, 2020.
The drawdown will include “dozens” of people — up to half the staff at the Baghdad embassy and other diplomatic facilities in Iraq, Politico also reported, citing a U.S. official and a State Department Official. [ Source: American Military News (Read More…) ]
