We are determined to use all diplomatic options available to ensure that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon. We condemned in the strongest terms Iran's direct attack against Israel on 13 April, which was a dangerous escalation.

The UK will continue to stand up for Israel's security as well as the security of all our regional partners and we are working with our allies to deescalate the situation.
