British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says that the UK fully backs Israel’s right to defend itself against Iranian threats.
Sunak says threats by Iran to carry out a missile strike on Israel are “unacceptable,” adding that “we, like the Americans, fully support Israel’s right to defend itself against that.”
Sunak adds that Britain has already “highlighted Iran as a significant risk to regional security,” including to the UK.
