The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait has said it is limiting its activity on its military bases in the Middle Eastern country to essential and official events after receiving threats from a group of Iraqi “militia”.
The embassy in a statement posted on its website on Wednesday also advised its citizens in Iraq to remain alert.
The statement reads: “The embassy is aware of threats made on social media by Alwiyat al-Waad al-Haq, a militia group in Iraq, against U.S. military bases in Kuwait. As a result, the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait is limiting its activity on U.S. military bases to essential and official events only. U.S. citizens are advised to remain alert.”
The Pentagon also announced that its forces stationed in Iraq had faced a barrage of 10 missile attacks. These attacks were claimed by Iraqi resistance factions, indicating a significant escalation in tensions in the region.
This comes amid the Israel-Hamas conflict that has led to the killing of thousands of people in Israel and Gaza.
