Global Leaders React as Israel-Iran Conflict Intensifies

Global leaders respond to escalating Israel-Iran conflict. Tensions in the Middle East have intensified following recent attacks. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the UK is deploying fighter jets to the region. This move comes as US President Donald Trump sought to distance the US from the conflict, stating, "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight." Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has called for both sides to show restraint, emphasizing the need for diplomacy and dialogue. "Continuing to escalate this has consequences for all peoples of the region," Wong said. The situation remains volatile, with concerns of further escalation.
