Holidaymakers and all British citizen's living in the UAE have been warned to get out of the country, which is home to the popular and lavish holiday destination Dubai.

Tensions have severely escalated after Donald Trump ordered a missile strike which killed the top Iranian genera Qaseml Soleiman.

Iranian Professor, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, from the University of Tehran warned the BBC: If I was a Western citizen, I would leave the UAE immediately.

Not only will Iranian leaders retaliate, but also Iraqis.

The Americans have murdered Iraqi war heroes, and this was a senior in Iraqi government official.

The whole regions future is unclear because of the terrorist attack. No matter how you frame it, it is the equivalent of assassinating the British commander of the British armed forces.

This is essentially a declaration of war against Iran and they have a pretty wide menu of retaliation options from which to choose from.

The Iranian reaction mean there are high-level talks of very severe revenge.

Diplomats and experts are currently saying that consequences are unknown.

Some have called the assassination "a powerful political weapon" against the US, but all agree that retaliation is expected.

Previous US presidents have considered assassinating Soleimani before, but decided that the fallout was too great a risk.

The airstrike has caused a frenzy online, with some worrying that World War 3 will begin.

All Brits are being urged to leave all parts of the UAE immediately.

Those who are due to go on holiday to the UAE are advised to contact their travel insurance company.
