UK Prime Minister Urges Calm Amid Middle East Tensions

Press conference following a EU leaders' emergency video conference summit on Middle East crisis, in Brussels

The UK's Prime Minister emphasized the importance of maintaining calm in the Middle East amidst escalating tensions. Rishi Sunak stated that a significant escalation is not in anyone's interest during a press conference in London.

Reports indicate that Israel conducted a military strike on Iran, although Israel has not officially commented on the incident and Iran has not attributed the attack to any specific source.

Prime Minister Sunak mentioned that the UK is collaborating with its allies to verify the details of the attack. He highlighted that the situation is still evolving, and it would be premature to speculate until all the facts are clear.

Sunak reiterated his disapproval of Iran's missile attacks against Israel and reaffirmed Israel's right to self-defense. The Prime Minister's stance underscores the UK's commitment to stability and peace in the region.
