MANILA - The Philippines is preparing to evacuate thousands of Filipinos working in the Middle East as regional tensions rise following the killing of a top Iranian commander by the United States.

President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the armed forces to prepare air and naval assets for the evacuation of Filipinos in Iraq, Iran and nearby Arab countries, his spokesman Salvador Panelo said on Tuesday. There are close to 7,000 Filipinos working and living in Iraq and more than 1,000 in Iran, according to government data.

Iran is considering 13 scenarios to avenge Friday’s killing of Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. drone attack in Iraq, a senior Tehran official said on Tuesday as the general’s body was brought to his hometown for burial.

Soldiers deploying to Middle East not allowed to take cell phonesIsamar Diaz, whose husband is on standby for deployment to the Middle East from Fort Bragg, talks about the hardship she’s facing as she prepares to birth their first child. Iran can murder their own citizens for protesting, hang gay people in public, & sentence women to death for showing their faces.... And the left won't say a word. But when Trump responds to an attack that THEY started, the left freaks out & defends them. These people are sick. Thank you for your service and I regret that you have been put in this position. Deployments are not easy for those that leave or those that stay behind. When you sign on the dotted line you are on call. I wish him and his family prayers but as a veteran, it’s his job.
