All Americans at US embassy in Baghdad told to leave immediately

The US embassy in Baghdad has urged all citizens to depart from Iraq immediately, hours after Qassem Solemani’s killing.

Here’s round up of what other citizens and foreign governments are doing in the wake of Soleimani’s assassination:

• In the southern city of Basra, dozens of US citizens working for foreign oil companies were preparing to leave the country. Iraqi officials said the evacuation would not affect operations, production or exports.
   
• The Israeli military is on heightened alert after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cutting short a trip to Greece following the assassination.
  
  Defence Minister Naftali Bennett met with military and intelligence chiefs for a "situational assessment". He and other members of Netanyahu's security cabinet have been asked not to comment on the high-profile killings, which Israeli media interpreted as a bid to stave off retaliation from Iran's proxies and allies in the region.

  

  Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said the Mount Hermon ski resort in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights close to the fortified frontier with Syria, had been closed "following an assessment of the situation".
• France urged its citizens in Iran to stay away from public gatherings and “to behave with prudence and discretion and abstain from taking pictures in public places” and the Netherlands told Dutch nationals to leave Baghdad “in a safe manner” if possible.
