In a phone call with Iran's President, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer while calling on restraint over retaliation to the Israeli assassination of Hamas's former leader in Tehran, emphasized the need for peace and stability in the region.

The statement emphasized the grave nature of the risk of miscalculation and called for a calm and thoughtful approach. It also conveyed Starmer's request to Iran to abstain from attacking Israel, highlighting that war is not beneficial to anyone.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) statement indicated that Starmer stressed his dedication to promptly securing a ceasefire in Gaza, enhancing humanitarian assistance in the region, and facilitating the release of all prisoners through diplomatic discussions.
According to the statement, the two leaders also agreed that a constructive dialogue between the UK and Iran is in the interest of both countries.
