US failing to give UK warning of military strikes, says senior MP
Dominic Raab calls for calm as Tom Tugendhat says allies should not surprise each other
The UK was not informed in advance of the US airstrike that killed Iran’s top general, it has been claimed, as the British government scrambled to protect its interests in the Middle East in the wake of the attack.
The foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, said the government had “always recognised the aggressive threat posed by the Iranian Quds force”, whose leader Qassem Suleimani was killed in the strike.
