British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Iran to refrain from retaliation against Israel.
„It is clear to me that Israel has the right to defend itself against Iranian aggression. We must avoid further regional escalation and I call on all parties to exercise restraint. Iran should not be held accountable,” said the head of the British government, who is at the Commonwealth summit in Samoa, at a press conference. “The situation is fluid and we are of course monitoring it closely with our partners,” Starmer added.
