On the other hand, all flights from Imam Khomeini Airport (Tehran) to Iraq have been canceled.

Military helicopters are landing at the US embassy building in conjunction with the escalation.

Militia fighters from the Saraya al-Salam militia affiliated with the Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have spread in Tahrir Square in Baghdad.

Meanwhile, the media of the Sadrist movement reported the killing of the Saraya al-Salam leader Aqil Jawhi in clashes in Baghdad.

The US Embassy in Iraq announced that the United States is concerned about the rising tensions and urges all parties to adhere to peacefulness and refrain from actions that could lead to a spiral of violence.

The US State Department also announced that there is no truth to the news about the evacuation of the United States Embassy in Baghdad.
