The announcement came after a recent spike in rocket and drone attacks against Iraq military bases which host U.S. and other international forces.
“Attacks that target Iraqi bases that houses advisers from the international coalition in Iraq are unacceptable.
They are here based on the invitation of the government,” said a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister and commander-in-chief of the armed forces Mohammed al-Sudani.
Iraqi armed groups aligned with Iran threatened to target U.S. interests with missiles and drones if Washington intervened to support Israel against Hamas in Gaza.
There has been an increase in attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.
The U.S. State Department said on Sunday U.S. citizens should not travel to Iraq after recent attacks on American troops and personnel in the region.
