The Assassination

---

Boris Johnson has said that General Qasem Soleimani , was killed by a U.S. drone strike last week, have "The Blood of British troops on his hands".

He told The Commons that the Iranian General was also responsible for a series of attacks on Innocent Civilians , but called for "urgent" de-escalation".

He warned Iran not to repeat "reckless" attacks with ball were fired ballistic missiles, air force bases, and in Iraq previously.

the Iranian revolutionary guards said they were in response to Soleimani's death.

It came as President Trump on Wednesday - broadcast-tolerated, a "clear and unified message" to Iran that its "campaign of terror" is.

Mr Trump also called on Britain and The Other European Nato countries to renounce nuclear energy, under contract with the Iran nuclear deal in 2015, signed.

However, at Prime Minister 's Questions earlier, Mr Johnson defended The Deal , saying it remains the "best way of preventing Nuclear Proliferation in Iran".

In his first PMQs since the Parliament returned the Christmas holiday, Mr Johnson said there were in the United Kingdom were not the victims of the attacks on the Iraqi air bases "as far as we can tell".

"We, of course, condemn The Attack on Iraqi military bases, hosting coalition forces," said Mr Johnson said.

head of the Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn question of the legality of the drone attacks ordered by US President Donald Trump , the.

The PM said it was not the Kingdom, in order to determine whether The Strike was legal" because it was in our operation", but added: "I think most reasonable people would accept that the United States has The Right to the protection of its foundations and its employees. "

His comments come after foreign Minister Dominic Raab .

Mr. Johnson and President of the Trump the air attack on the Iraqi bases over The Phone .

A Downing Street spokesman said the Prime Minister stressed the need "to avoid the urgent de-escalation of further conflicts."

Mr Johnson told deputies that Soleimani this man had delivered "improvised explosive devices "terrorists", the "killed, maimed and British troops," and added: "The Blood of British troops on his hands. "

Mr Corbyn's spokesman said later that it was "difficult", as Soleimani murder can be justified, as a court of law.

"Since The Assassination of high officials, generals or Ministers, is internationally recognized governments, at first glance, completely illegal in International Law , be made available to the defense, the defense of an Imminent Threat and must be public, because there was no question of the legality around it," the speaker, a Westminster-briefing.

He added: "this evidence is Not available, and on The Face , it is difficult to see how this is the case would be. "

It took me a while to listen to Boris Johnson directly, and I suspect that the surprise of a lot of people. There are Five Days is broke since the beginning of The Crisis , and this is The First we have heard of him.

He is not only talking about today, frankly, because he has to PMQs.

This is because of a new concept of no 10. You want to delegate more responsibility to other members of the Cabinet and not the PM reacts to each event and crisis.

But it also reflects the fact that in this post-Brexit world that Mr Johnson is a very delicate balancing act.

On The One hand, he wants to be close to The Europeans , that we want good relations and trade with the offer. On The Other , he things, you do not piss off no one wants US, with whom we want, similar.

That's why you heard him talk, to work reliably with the EU, select the bottom of The Conflict , but at the same time, the President of the Trump defended The Right to act as he did.

The bottom line is that, like Brexit unfolds Mr. Johnson', you get pretty good at this diplomatic high-wire act.

Mr Corbyn said U.S. -Iran tensions were "real risk" of the development in the "great war" and asked the Prime Minister whether British personnel in the area of security.

Mr Johnson said: "as far as we can tell, there were no casualties Last Night , supported by the United States , and no British personnel were injured in the attacks.

"we do what We can, to the protection of the British interests in the region, with Hms Defender and Hms Montrose , which is in an advanced state of readiness for the protection of shipping in The Gulf . "

Mr Johnson will later discuss The Situation at a meeting with the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei described as "a slap in The Face " for the United States .

The Strike showed only a "small part" of the capabilities of the Iranian armed forces, The Chief of staff for the military said.

But Iran's Ambassador to the UK, Hamid Baeidinejad , and the country, "according to the escalation or war. "

More Than a dozen rockets were fired from the Iranian territories in Iraq by about 02:00 local time on Wednesday (22:30 GMT on Tuesday).

The al Asad airbase was hit in the Anbar province in Western Iraq , at least six rockets.

'is A symbolic attack'

Lydia Wilson of the University of Oxford centre for the resolution of Intractable conflict, calling it a "symbolic attack, was not designed to harm "really", the US or Iraqi military capabilities.

when you consider that Iran has used ballistic missiles rather than more sophisticated cruise missiles, She Said : "Iran was not the threat of a major escalation in this climate. They are very overstretched in the region. You are not to take easily the largest army in The World . "

There are over 400 British troops in Iraq to help Iraqi troops in the crackdown of the Islamic state group.

A Ministry of defence spokesman said: "We are urgently working to establish the facts on the ground. Our first priority is always the safety of the British personnel. "

Minister of defense, Ben Wallace added that further "volatility" would only benefit terrorist groups," the instability".

Iraqi security forces gathered the pieces of the rocket
