Leaders of the G7 have urged de-escalation in the Middle East but said they “stand ready to take further measures now and in response to further destabilising initiatives” after Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel.
In a joint statement following an urgent meeting on Sunday, countries including the UK and US “unequivocally” condemned Tehran’s strikes and expressed “full solidarity” with Israel.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak earlier confirmed that British RAF jets shot down a number of Iranian drones after the country announced it had launched retaliatory action on its long-standing enemy.
