The UK condemned Iran’s attack on Israel, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement posted on X.
“I condemn in the strongest terms the Iranian regime’s reckless attack against Israel. Iran has once again demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard,” Sunak’s statement said.
“The UK will continue to stand up for Israel’s security and that of all our regional partners, including Jordan and Iraq,” it said. “Alongside our allies, we are urgently working to stabilize the situation and prevent further escalation. No one wants to see more bloodshed.”
