UK Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper calls for deescalation between Israel and Iran after Tehran’s renewed missile attacks on northern Israel.
“The resumption of conflict between Iran and Israel is in no one’s interest,” she writes on X. “Both sides must show restraint and de-escalate immediately.”
Cooper adds that “negotiations must continue towards the lasting settlement that we all need, for peace and stability in the region, and for the full restoration of global trade.”
