Starmer urges Iran and Israel to 'step back'
Briefly

Following recent Israeli strikes targeting Iran's nuclear program, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has urged all parties to exercise restraint. Amid escalating tensions, including warnings of retaliation from Iran's Supreme Leader, a Cobra meeting is poised to address the situation. Foreign Secretary David Lammy canceled a trip to Washington to prioritize discussions on the crisis. Both Starmer and Lammy highlighted the importance of diplomatic efforts to avert further escalation, which poses a serious threat to peace and stability in the Middle East.
The reports of these strikes are concerning and we urge all parties to step back and reduce tensions urgently. Escalation serves no-one in the region.
Further escalation is a serious threat to peace and stability in the region and in no-one's interest.
