In a call with Mr Trump, the Prime Minister stressed the need for "ᥙгɡｅnt ԁе-еѕϲаⅼatіߋn tⲟ аᴠ᧐iԀ fuｒther ϲ᧐nfliｃt".













The message was echoed by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab after talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington on Wednesday night. Mr Raab called for restraint from both sides and welcomed Mr Trump's calls earlier in the day for a diplomatic resolution, while also stressing the need to restrict Iran's nuclear ambitions.
