State Dept orders departure from Iraq of non-emergency government workers

FOX News contributor Dr. Rebecca Grant tells'FOX News Live' that she believes tensions in the Middle East can be contained to just Israel. The State Department on Sunday updated its travel advisory for Iraq to include the ordered departure of all non-emergency U.S. government personnel and eligible family members. Americans are warned "do not travel to Iraq due to terrorism, kidnapping, armed conflict, civil unrest, and Mission Iraq's limited capacity to provide support to U.S. citizens." On Oct. 20, the State Department already ordered the departure of eligible family members and non-emergency U.S. government personnel from U.S. Embassy Baghdad and U.S. Consulate General Erbil "due to increased security threats against U.S. government personnel and interests." In recent days, Iran-backed militias attacked United States military bases in Iraq.
