Former Foreign Secretary: President Trump had to send a signal to Iran

Former Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind told LBC that Donald Trump had to send a signal to Iran over the actions of General Qassem Soleimani.

Commentators in the UK have been concerned about the potential for escalation of the tension in the Middle East following the US airstrike last week. Twitter users immediately panicked with World War 3 trending on the platform

But speaking to Iain Dale, Mr Rifkind backed the President of the US.

He said: "I don't think people should see this as an isolated aberration by Donald Trump. I'm no admirer of Donald Trump. I don't admire most of what he's done on foreign policy.
