In a recent interview, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy refrained from taking a clear stance on the US airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites. He highlighted the ongoing assessment of the strikes' effectiveness while urging Iran to return to the negotiation table. Lammy pointed out that Iran was in breach of nuclear obligations with high uranium enrichment levels but did not affirm the legality of the US actions, emphasizing it was a matter for Washington to clarify. The Labour government is carefully navigating its criticism of the strikes, focusing on diplomatic engagements instead.
Lammy emphasized that the key focus was on military targets and indicated that Western allies were awaiting assessments of the strikes' impact on Iran's nuclear capabilities.
When pressed about the legality of the airstrikes, Lammy repeatedly stated that it was up to Washington to address those questions and did not explicitly back the strikes.
