Iran apologizes for regional strikes as Trump warns of an expanded bombing campaign

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a televised apology to Gulf neighbors hit by strikes and said Iran would stop attacking neighboring countries unless attacked first, while calling for regional cooperation. The statement comes amid intensified fighting, with Israel reporting large-scale strikes on targets in Tehran and Iran launching missiles and drones toward Israel. Regional states including Saudi Arabia and the UAE reported intercepting drones and missiles, and Dubai airport temporarily suspended operations after an apparent interception.

A former senior Foreign Office diplomat, Ameer Kotecha, said Prime Minister Keir Starmer was briefed for weeks that US and Israeli strikes on Iran were highly likely, based on reporting from the UK ambassador in Tel Aviv. Kotecha criticised the government for not taking stronger early steps to protect UK interests, citing the delayed deployment of the Type 45 destroyer HMS Dragon and arguing that years of reduced defence investment left Britain less prepared. The government said it had already moved defensive assets to Cyprus and Qatar earlier in the year, scrambled jets when strikes began, and is reinforcing Cyprus while prioritising the safety of British nationals and a negotiated settlement.
