The British Government has warned its citizens against

ranking soldier of the Iranian military, by the United States.
Suleimani was killed in an airstrike under the command of
President Donald Trump.
World leaders, including the United Nations, has said the
action might lead to war in the region, while also calling for calm.
Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, advised Brits not to travel
to these countries in view of the impending crisis.
“Given heightened tensions in the region, the (foreign
office) now advise people not to travel to Iraq, with the exception of the
Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and to consider carefully whether it’s essential to
travel to Iran,” Raab says.
