Senior Democrat calls Israel's attacks 'alarming' and 'reckless'

The most senior Democrat on the Senate armed services committee, Jack Reed, has called Israel’s strikes on Iran, "alarming" and "reckless."

In a statement, Reed said: "Israel’s alarming decision to launch airstrikes on Iran is a reckless escalation that risks igniting regional violence."

He added that the issues between Israel and Iran are "complex", but said "military aggression of this scale is never the answer."
