Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz called for "regional stability" and condemned Iran's strikes in the Middle East.

In the joint statement, the leaders wrote: "France, Germany and the United Kingdom have consistently urged the Iranian regime to end Iran’s nuclear program, curb its ballistic missile program, refrain from its destabilising activity in the region and our homelands, and to cease the appalling violence and repression against its own people.

"We did not participate in these strikes, but are in close contact with our international partners, including the United States, Israel and partners in the region."

US and Israeli forces attacked Iran on Saturday morning in what the two countries described as a “pre-emptive” strike against a Tehran government intent on developing nuclear weapons.

The attack prompted retaliation from Iran, with missiles reported to have targeted Israel and countries across the Middle East.

It is understood that the UK did not participate in the US-Israeli strikes.

However, a government spokesperson confirmed the UK deployed Typhoon jets to Qatar from the RAF’s joint Typhoon squadron in January for defensive purposes.

Additional defence capabilities were deployed earlier this year to the Sovereign Base Areas, including radar systems, counter-drone systems, F-35 jets, and ground-based air defence.
