Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed with Iraq's Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi on the need to de-escalate tensions in the region when they spoke by phone on Monday, according to a UK statement.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Qassem Soleimani was killed by a US drone strike in Iraq on Friday.

"The leaders discussed the need to deescalate tensions in the region following the death of Qassem Soleimani and agreed to work together to find a diplomatic way forward," a statement from Johnson's office said.
