Lord Cameron made a statement that Iran must cease its ‘malign’ activities, emphasizing that they will not be tolerated, both in the Middle East and in the UK. He referred to Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah as ‘proxies’ for the Tehran regime and emphasized that these groups are fueling danger and insecurity around the world. Lord Cameron insisted that Iran must be sent a clear message that this escalation will not be accepted. He mentioned that Britain would work with allies to develop a strong set of deterrent measures against Tehran. Lord Cameron also expressed concerns about Iran’s increasing aggression and actions by groups acting on its behalf, both in the Middle East and around the world. Additional evidence of the threats posed by the Iranian regime was mentioned, including a plan to assassinate two news presenters at a London-based Persian language news channel. The content of his message is understood to reflect rising concern in the Government over Iran’s increasing aggression. Lord Cameron’s statement was made following a trip to France, Italy, Jordan, and Egypt, during which discussions about Iran took place. Meanwhile, America’s most experienced Middle East diplomat called for Hamas leaders to leave Gaza immediately to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians. Ambassador Dennis Ross suggested that the departure of Hamas commanders would be the only way to quickly halt Israel’s bombardment of the region. He also predicted that Israel’s military campaign would continue in an ‘intense’ form until next month.
