The Foreign Secretary said Israel should view the successful defence against Tehran’s missiles and drones as a victory.

Lord David Cameron has urged Israel to be “smart as well as tough” by not escalating the conflict with Iran.

Speaking ahead of a Commons statement by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the matter, Lord Cameron on Monday echoed US President Joe Biden’s comment that Israel should view the successful defence against Iranian missiles and drones as a victory. “Had those weapons not been shot down, there could have been thousands of casualties, including civilian casualties,” he told Sky News, describing Tehran’s actions as “reckless and dangerous”.

The UK’s role was to “backfill” for the US in joint operations against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, he said.
