Press TV - British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has said that the British government does �not lament� the terrorist-style assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani at the hand of US forces.

The PM described General Soleimani as a �threat to all our interests�, presumably meaning the UK and the US.

Johnson�s statement removes all doubt that the British government supports the US action and is prepared to aid the US in future belligerent acts against Iran.

Johnson�s statement comes on the heels of opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn�s, condemnation of foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, for his �sympathy� for Trump�s �reckless and lawless� killing of General Soleimani.

In a tweet, Corbyn described Raab�s position as �craven� and �dangerous�.

These latest political developments coincide with reports that Britain�s Royal Navy is preparing to assist the US in potential military action against Iran.
