British PM says Iran should not respond to Israeli strikes

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Iran to refrain from retaliating to the overnight Israeli strikes, calling for restraint from all sides.

"I am clear that Israel has the right to defend itself against Iranian aggression. I'm equally clear that we need to avoid further regional escalation and urge all sides to show restraint. Iran should not respond," Starmer said on Saturday.
