It follows the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the influential Iranian military commander, who was killed by a US airstrike in Baghdad last week.

The UK has stepped up emergency plans to evacuate British troops and other military personnel from Iraq amid growing fears of revenge attacks by Iran. The British advisers are drawing up plans to evacuate soldiers quickly, the Times reported, and the strategies will be used for diplomats and other civilians if necessary.
