Starmer calls for de-escalation after Israel attacks Iran
There were also strikes on the main uranium enrichment facility in Natanz and at military bases and a nuclear research facility in Tabriz. Hossein Salami, chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards, was killed in the attacks as were nuclear scientists Fereydoon Abbasi and Mohammad Tehranchi. Read More: Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the strikes were a targeted operation "to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival". Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that Israel faces a 'bitter and painful' fate following the attack. The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said the White House was not involved. He said: "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. "Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defence. President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.' UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has now reacted to the overnight attack, as he called for cool heads. He said in a statement: "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. 'Stability in the Middle East must be the priority and we are engaging partners to de-escalate. Now is the time for restraint, calm and a return to diplomacy.' David Lammy, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, said: "Stability in the Middle East is vital for global security. I'm concerned to see reports of strikes overnight. Further escalation is a serious threat to peace & stability in the region and in no one's interest. "This is a dangerous moment and I urge all parties to show restraint."
