UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the United Kingdom "stands with Israel" and recognises its right to self-defence."In the last few hours, the Iranian regime has launched over 200 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Israel. It's too soon to assess the impact fully, but I condemn this attempt by the Iranian regime to harm innocent Israelis, to escalate this incredibly dangerous situation and push the region ever closer to the brink. It cannot be tolerated. We stand with Israel and we recognise her right to self-defence," Starmer said in a video statement.Also Read | "Iran made a big mistake tonight and it will pay for it," Israel PM on Iran's attack on Israel.Calling on Iran to stop its attacks, Starmer further stated that Hezbollah and Iran menaced the Middle East for far too long.
