Israel's emergency service claimed that it has received no reports of injuries suffered directly through Iranian strikes
Victoria Atkins has said the UK Government is putting “all of our efforts” into de-escalation in the Middle East, saying no one wants to see a “miscalculation or an escalation.” There is a call between G7 leaders planned later on Sunday, the Health Secretary confirmed, saying Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has already had calls this morning after holding a Cobra meeting on Friday and being kept updated throughout the night.
Speaking on Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, she said: “All of our efforts at the moment are on de-escalating this. We do not want a miscalculation or an escalation in events because we know that that will take its toll.” She refused to be drawn on the extent to which RAF planes have been involved in protecting Israel from the Iranian attack, saying she could not provide a running commentary on a “live operation”.
