British FM: Iran ‘must end its destabilizing actions immediately’

UK Foreign Minister Dominic Raab says Iran “must end its destabilizing actions immediately” after NATO condemns a deadly drone attack on an Israeli-managed ship near Oman.
Two people were killed in the attack — a British security guard and a Romanian crew member. Israel has blamed Iran for the attack, as have NATO members America, Britain and Romania.
I welcome @NATO joining the UK ???????? and international partners in condemning the unlawful attack on MV Mercer Street.
We believe this was a deliberate, targeted attack by Iran – it must end its destabilising actions immediately. https://t.co/aZGfjmgk4u
