The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday advised Lithuanian citizens against traveling to Iran.
According to the ministry, the killing of Soleimani "has increased tensions in Iran and across the region" and "strengthened anti-western sentiment in Iran".
The Foreign Ministry had previously advised citizens not to go to certain parts of Iran. It updated its recommendation after Iran launched missile strikes on two Iraqi military bases housing US-led troops on Wednesday in retaliation for the US killing killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani last week.
