The UK joined Israel’s defence against Iran in order to prevent an escalation of the conflict, Lord Cameron has said.
UK RAF jets intercepted a small number of drones bound for Israel in Iran’s first ever direct attack on its territory.
The foreign secretary urged Israel to be "smart" and "tough" as it considers its response.
Lord Cameron added that the UK did not support a retaliatory strike, echoing US President Joe Biden’s comment that Israel should "take the win".
The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock have also called for calm, while French President Emmanuel Macron said France would do everything possible to avoid what he described as a regional conflagration.
