"I'm glad the Iranians have accepted responsibility in shooting down a Ukrainian passenger plane", UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, APA reports citing Daily Mail.
"It is very important that the bodies are repatriated in a dignified way and that the families are allowed to grieve and to have closure.
Clearly, as President Rouhani has said, Iran made a terrible mistake. It is good they have apologised.
The most important thing now is that tensions in the region calm down", noted the PM.
Mr Johnson said he "did not envisage" any escalation in the tensions between the US and Iran.
