UK must push for diplomatic solution following US strikes on Iran, says Swinney
- US President Donald Trump launched overnight air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, including the Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz facilities, involving submarines firing about 30 Tomahawk missiles.
- The strikes followed a military buildup and were aimed at halting Iran's nuclear weapon development, which the US and UK regard as a grave international security threat despite calls for diplomacy.
- UK officials were informed beforehand but did not participate, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scottish First Minister John Swinney urging de-escalation and praising the need for diplomatic talks.
- Trump declared the nuclear sites were “completely and fully obliterated” and warned of further strikes if Iran retaliates, while Iran's foreign minister warned of “everlasting consequences” and reserved all options to respond.
- The attacks intensified Middle East tensions and increased risks including Iranian-backed terrorism, with calls from SCND and UK officials for the international community to enforce a diplomatic solution and restore regional stability.
