Two Iraqi officials said, however, that the U.S. has informed Iraqi  authorities that it is beginning to take preliminary steps so it could close the  embassy over the next few months while retaining its consulate in Erbil, the  capital of the Kurdish region of Iraq. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re being told is that it is a gradual closure of the  embassy over two to three months,\u201d said one Iraqi official, who added that it  might be coupled with the withdrawal of American troops in the country. Such a gradual withdrawal would give Washington time to reverse the  move should Iraqi authorities take decisive action to protect U.S. facilities,  the Iraqi official added, despite the risks of inflaming tensions with Iran and  the Iraqi militias backed by the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/u-s-warns-iraq-it-is-preparing-to-shut-down-baghdad-embassy-11601238966?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">An expanded version of this report appears in WSJ.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also popular on WSJ.com:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/grocers-stockpile-build-pandemic-pallets-ahead-of-winter-11601199000?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">Grocers stockpile, build \u2018pandemic pallets\u2019 ahead of winter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/what-trump-pick-amy-coney-barrett-could-mean-for-future-of-the-supreme-court-11601155192?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">What Trump pick Amy Coney Barrett could mean for the future of the Supreme Court.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Isabel Coles\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isabel_Coles_and\"><\/span>Isabel Coles and<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Michael R.
