UK prime minister strongly condemns Iran strikes on Qatar gas hub
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned "in the strongest terms" Iranian strikes on Qatar's main gas hub, the world's largest liquefied natural gas facility.
"We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people," Starmer added in a post on X today.
He discussed the "egregious" strikes with Nato chief Mark Rutte and French President Emmanuel Macron in a call on Thursday, Starmer's office said in a statement.
"Attacks on critical infrastructure risked pushing the region further into crisis, the leaders agreed," said Downing Street's readout of the call.
I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility.
