TEHRAN/ISTANBUL -- Foreign workers are leaving Iraq and Iran amid rising tensions following Tehran's missile attacks on U.S.-led forces in Iraq after the killing of Iranian military commander Gen. Qassam Soleimani.
The evacuations by the international community will weigh on a regional economy that has already been battered by sanctions and conflict.
