The Middle East is teetering on the edge of a major conflict after Israel threatened to would respond to Iran's weekend salvo which saw 300 drones and missiles launched the country.

Lord David Cameron has said it is clear that Israel is 'making a decision to act' after he arrived in Jerusalem today to join other foreign ministers in pleading with the Jewish State to avoid a major escalation against Iran .

'It is clear the Israelis are making a decision to act' after the Iranian attack, Cameron said in Israel, while expressing the British government's 'hope' that 'Israel acts in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible.' Speaking to broadcasters in Jerusalem, Lord Cameron said: 'It is right to have shown solidarity with Israel. It is right to have made our views clear about what should happen next, but it is clear the Israelis are making the decision to act.

'Britain has in many ways led the way with our new sanctions regime, sanctioning dozens of people in Iran, sanctioning the IRGC in its entirety, and I think there is more that we can do to show a united front, that Iran is behind so much of the malign activity in this region, backing Hamas, backing Hezbollah, backing the Houthis.

Meanwhile, Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi warned during an annual army parade that the 'tiniest invasion' by Israel would bring a 'massive and harsh' response, as the region braces for potential Israeli retaliation. 'For a long time, the balance of power in the region has changed despite the resistance force. Today, with the operation of the honest promise, it was proved to everyone that Muslims are speaking one thing together and that is supporting the oppressed and confronting the oppressor.

Israel, with help from the United States, the United Kingdom, neighbouring Jordan and other nations, successfully intercepted nearly all the missiles and drones. Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee Abolfazl Amoue stated that Iran is 'prepared to use a weapon that we have never used' if Israel responds further to Tehran's weekend attack.

Under Italy's rotating stewardship, the G7 leaders are expected to issue a united call for Israel to exercise restraint.
