Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron warns Israel against ‘escalation’ over Iran

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has told Sky News that he is urging Israel not to further escalate tensions in the region after an attack by Iran.

On Saturday night, Iran launched a massive aerial assault on Israel, saying it was in retaliation to an airstrike on its embassy in Syria at the start of the month.

The attack was a "double defeat" and "total failure" for Iran, Lord Cameron said, and he hoped that there would not be a retaliatory military response from Israel.
