UK convenes emergency meeting after US-Israeli strike on Iran sparks regional retaliation and travel warnings.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has convened the UK’s Cobra emergency committee following a US-Israeli pre-emptive strike on Iran, which aimed to halt its nuclear and missile programs. Iran retaliated with missile attacks across the Middle East, prompting the UK to warn against travel to Israel and advise British nationals in several Gulf states to shelter in place. The UK did not participate in the strikes, reiterating its opposition to escalation and commitment to a negotiated solution. The Foreign Office confirmed it is providing 24/7 consular support, while political reactions in the UK remain divided over the attack’s legality and regional impact.
