(Begin text)
June 25, 1997
The Department of State warns all U.S. citizens against travel to
Iraq. Conditions throughout the country remain unsettled and
dangerous, and U.S. passports are not valid for travel to, in or
through Iraq, unless they are validated by the Department of State.
The United States does not have diplomatic relations with Iraq. There
is no U.S. Embassy in Iraq, and the United States government cannot
provide normal consular protective services there to U.S. citizens.
U.S. government interests in Iraq are represented by the government of
Poland, which, as a protecting power, can provide only limited
emergency services to U.S. citizens. In addition, there is a U.S.
trade embargo which severely restricts financial and economic
activities with Iraq, including travel-related transactions.
No. 97-020
This extends the previous warning dated September 15, 1994, and is
issued without change following periodic review.
