State Department urges U.S. citizens to leave Iraq immediately

The State Department issued a security alert early Friday morning urging Americans in Iraq to leave the country immediately.

The warning comes hours after Iran promised �harsh retaliation� against the United States for an airstrike that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani at the Baghdad International Airport.

�Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, we urge U.S. citizens to depart Iraq immediately,� the State Department said in the alert.
