What happens next in Iran crisis? Soleimani assassination puts us all more at risk
America's killing of such a senior Iranian military figure has blasted what has thus far been a proxy conflict in the region into a high-risk but decisive act of war.
But he also had crucial control of Iran's foreign policy decisions, global relations and more overt military campaigns. Britain does not have an equivalent figure. But it is hard to see what the point of it was – except as a huge gamble and escalation as he will be replaced.This is highlighted by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab's immediate appeal this morning urging “all parties to de-escalate”.
