BASRA, Iraq - U.S. citizens working for foreign oil companies in the southern Iraqi oil city of Basra were leaving the country on Friday, the Oil Ministry said, after a U.S. air strike killed a top Iranian commander in Iraq.
Iraqi officials said the evacuation would not affect oil operations, production or exports from the country, the second-biggest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries with output of about 4.62 million barrels per day , according to a Reuters survey of OPEC output. Some were traveling to Dubai on airline FlyDubai and others were checking in at the Qatar airways counter.
Italian energy group Eni said the Zubair oil field, which produced around 475,000 bpd in 2018, was “proceeding regularly”, adding it was closely monitoring the situation.
wpjenna Not to worry, I’m sure Russia will take over there too. They’ve always got our backs.
As farm as I’m concerned Canada and Britain should bring their troops in the region home, away from danger. If Trump wants to engage in war the USA let th go it alone. This was done only for Trumps self interest
Nobody’s safe after this. Anywhere Americans are the rest of the people suffer. Big crowds are out of the question for me after this. The UK isn’t doing anything to remove bogus asylum seekers. There’s terrorists in this country picked up by border security and dropped off in UK?
If I was a Shia Muslim well I would start to think that why a fking country thousand miles away has right to whatever it wishes on my lands...and also while stealing my oil and killing raping my people...old Arabians are dead...those are garbage.

Hmmmm it was only a few days ago I was offered a job with an oil & gas many to be based just outside Basra. I guess that one will be missed.
They know the right thing, let there be peace, leaders
I count 14
Is it because they feel so much safer now
Don't mean a thing. The chain of events are already in motion. The Iranians have already named General Soleimani's replacement and you can be damned sure a retaliation strategy is already planned....
Wow..🙉🙉
Cheers!
Troops are staying. We pay them to be the targets.
