‘We urge Iran now to show restraint’: UK’s UN ambassador
The UK’s ambassador to the UN, Barbara Woodward, has just spoken at the emergency special session of the Security Council (UNSC).
“A further spiral of conflict poses serious risks to regional and international peace and stability. Our foremost priority must now be to support de-escalation,” she told the UNSC.
“The United Kingdom did not participate in US or Israeli strikes”, she said, adding, “military action alone cannot bring a durable solution to concerns about Iran’s nuclear program”.
“We urge Iran now to show restraint, and we urge all parties to return to the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution”, Woodward said.
