US EditionUK must push for diplomatic solution following US strikes on Iran, says Swinney
- On June 21, 2025, the US military launched overnight air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites including Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz, using B-2 bombers and submarines.
- The strikes followed a buildup of US military equipment and were intended to alleviate the threat of Iran developing nuclear weapons, which the UK and US consider a grave international security risk.
- The UK government was informed beforehand but did not participate, instead urging a diplomatic solution and planning contingencies, including safety measures for UK nationals in the region.
- US President Trump stated the key sites were “completely and fully obliterated” and warned of further strikes if Iran retaliated, while Iran vowed to reserve all options for response and called the attack a brutal aggression.
- The conflict has heightened regional volatility with calls from UK leaders for diplomacy to prevent escalation, stressing the need for Iran to return to negotiations and for an international diplomatic solution.
