Keir Starmer, the UK leader, is convening an emergency Cobra meeting to address the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, fueled by concerns over possible U.S. military involvement. Amidst mixed messages from Donald Trump, the UK maintains its diplomatic stance, urging engagement with Iran while supporting efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation. British citizens in Israel have been advised to remain sheltered, despite the evacuation of embassy staff families, highlighting the ongoing tension and fast-evolving situation in the region.
The one thing I will say is we agree with President Trump that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, but we've been consistent in urging Iran to engage in the diplomatic process.
First and foremost, this is a fast moving situation. We're keeping all our advice under constant review, and the FCDO continues to plan for a variety of developments.
