The United Kingdom has officially joined the United States and Israel in military operations against Iran. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that British forces and planes are part of coordinated regional defensive actions to protect national and allied interests.
Starmer urged Iran to restrain from further strikes, abandon its weapons programs, and cease violence against civilians, calling for a return to diplomatic negotiations. His statement comes amid escalating conflict following US and Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.
Iran retaliated by targeting US military bases across the Middle East, while a missile strike reportedly hit parts of Israel. Saudi Arabia has also pledged to defend its sovereignty amid the growing regional tensions.
The UK’s entry into the conflict further heightens instability in the Middle East, raising concerns about potential wider escalation and calls for urgent diplomatic engagement to prevent further violence.
