As dinar drops, Iraq says embassies safe in light of US-Iran tension

Abu Ala al-Walai, leader of the Iran-backed Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada militia, warned that the U.S. would be “humiliated” in a potential conflict with Iran, amidst U.S. diplomatic evacuations in Iraq due to safety concerns. Iraqi officials asserted that embassies are secure, while tensions rise over stalled nuclear negotiations and potential military actions involving U.S. and Iranian interests in the region.
