Storbritanniens utrikesminister ger nu ett mer uttryckligt stöd till att USA slog ut terroristen Suleimani.
Tidigare uttalande var mer försiktigt. Fler allierade borde tala samma klarspråk men ängsligheten är väl för stor.. Mr. Macron?
Asked whether the US was “right” to carry out the assassination, Mr Raab replied: “The US will take their own operational judgement call, but they’ve got the right of self-defence.
If you look at what General Soleimani was doing, he’s not some victim in this scenario.”
“He was a regional menace, he was in charge of the Quds Force, the wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which is directing militias and proxies in the region, in Iraq, in Lebanon, in Syria which is destabilising those countries, trying to get an Iranian advantage and trying to attacking western countries that are legitimately there.
So we understand the position the US were in and I don’t think we should be naive about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or indeed General Soleimani.”
