Relations between the US and Iran were put under further strain when the US killed top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Friday 3 January.
On Tuesday evening, Parliament will discuss the recent developments in Libya and the efforts to prevent an international conflict with Mr Borrell.
