Foreign Office minister Andrew Murrison will call for "urgent de-escalation" of regional tensions during talks with the Iranian government in Tehran on Sunday.

The US has accused Iran of attacking oil tankers, and President Trump warned Iran faces "obliteration" in A War .

"There are people in the senior reaches in the US administration who want A War with Iran , and there are people on the Iranian side who are itching to get at The Americans too.

"A War Between Us and Iran would not be restricted to the US and Iran ," he concluded.

Tensions have been escalating between the Iran and the US after Mr Trump unilaterally pulled out of a 2015 nuclear deal aimed at curbing Iran 's nuclear activities.

Iran shot down the Unmanned Aircraft on Thursday morning. Washington and Tehran dispute whether it was in international airspace at the time.
