LONDON - Britain warned its nationals to avoid all travel to Iraq, outside the Kurdistan region, and to avoid all but essential travel to Iran following the death of Qassem Soleimani. “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,” Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement.
AVOID the ENTIRE Middle East!
Is it me or is 2020 starting to feel more like an extension of 2019 rather than a brand new year? I think the only way to truly feel like a brand new year feeling hopeful will be to CHANGE world leaders for INDEPENDENT thinkers! The POWER💪 is in your hands! VoteIndependent2020
Tell the USA we are sitting this one out
Soleimani, Iran, and Syria are fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda in Iraq and Syria. While US acts as ISIS airforce and Saudi Arabia recruiting and financing ISIS and Al Qaeda. The are all Wahhabi. 15 of 19 WTC 911 hijackers are Saudi. Not Iran
They need a warning?
