Britain to U.S: War with Iran ‘will only benefit militants’

0

Britain on Tuesday called for calm after the U.S. killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani and said a war with Iran would only benefit Islamist militants across the Middle East.
“What we’re looking to do is to de-escalate the tensions with Iran and make sure in relation to Iraq that we don’t lose the hard-won gains that we secured against Daesh.
“We are concerned that if we see a full-blown war, it would be very damaging and actually the terrorists, in particular, Daesh (Islamic State), would be the only winners.
“We’re working with our U.S. partners, our EU partners, that is why I’m traveling out to Brussels today, to make sure we send a very clear and consistent message on the need for de-escalation and to find a diplomatic route though,” British Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, said.
