Downing Street says 'Israel has a right to self-defence'

Hours after the reports of attacks on Isfahan in Iran, there is a reaction from the UK.

Downing Street says its understanding is that the source of the strikes on Iran has not been officially confirmed.

But the prime minister’s office says Israel has a right to self-defence, and added “we have been stressing to Israelis that what matters now is de-escalation".

So far there is no official statement from Israel that is claiming the responsibility for the attack, but the US officials who spoke to the US media say that Israel conducted the strikes.
