Keir Starmer has said the UK “stands with Israel” after British forces helped to repel Iranian attacks on the country. The prime minister made a hastily-arranged statement from 10 Downing Street after nearly 200 missiles rained down on Israeli targets.

The Prime Minister repeated his advice to British nationals in Lebanon to leave immediately, with the situation becoming 'increasingly grave'.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer spoke to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday afternoon and “condemned Iran’s attack on Israel in the strongest terms”, a Downing Street spokesperson has said.
