(part 2 of 2)- I condemn Iran's attacks today on partners across the region, many of which are not parties to this conflict.We extend our support and solidarity to them.As part of our commitments to the security of our allies in the Middle East we have a range of defensive capabilities in the region – which we’ve recently strengthened.Our forces are active and British planes are in the sky today as part of coordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests, and our allies - as Britain has done before, in line with international law.We’ve stepped up protections for British bases and personnel to their highest level.We are also reaching out to UK nationals in the region and doing everything we can to support them.I have been speaking with leaders today - from the E3, and across the region.It is vital that we prevent further escalation and return to a diplomatic process. We want to see peace and security, and the protection of civilian life. Iran can end this now.They should refrain from further strikes, give up their weapons programmes, and cease the appalling violence and repression against the Iranian people, who deserve the right to determine their own future, in line with our longstanding position. This is the route to de-escalation and back to the negotiating table. Thank you.
