Britain will not lament the death of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, Prime Minister
Boris Johnson said Sunday, though he warned that reprisals would lead to greater violence.
The
United States killed top military leader Soleimani outside Baghdad airport in a drone strike on Friday.
In his first intervention on the escalation of tensions in the
Middle East, Johnson said he had spoken Sunday with US President
Donald Trump, French President
Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
