The American strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani marks "an extremely serious and dangerous escalation of conflict in the Middle East with global significance" outgoing British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn claims .
Soleimani led the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force. He and an Iraqi militia leader were killed in a drone strike Thursday near Baghdad's airport.
Corbyn, who was routed in recent British elections, called on the UK government to "urge restraint on the part of both Iran and the US, and stand up to the belligerent actions and rhetoric coming from the United States."
