The Independent highlights its commitment to quality journalism on pressing issues, including reproductive rights and international conflicts.

Lammy expressed concern over communication challenges with the Iranian regime and urged restraint to prevent catastrophic mistakes. The publication underscores the importance of unbiased reporting and support from its audience to maintain journalism accessible to all amid critical global developments.
This is a moment of peril. There are neighbours in the region very worried about what the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] and what the supreme leader might now do.
None of us want to see escalation. I was crystal clear to the Iranian regime, it would be a huge, catastrophic mistake to fire at US bases in the region at this time.
