US House support for $60bn funding for Ukraine is a vital step forward.

If Putin ever doubted the West's resolve to back Ukraine, this shows our collective will is undimmed.

With support, Ukraine can and will win.

Not only was Iran's reckless attack a total failure, but they've revealed to the world their true nature as the malign influence in the region.

Today, alongside the US, we are sanctioning leading Iranian military figures and entities as we continue to hold the regime to account.

Today I formally condemned in the strongest terms Iran’s attack on Israel in a call with Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian.

I made clear that Iran must stop these reckless attacks, de-escalate and release the MSC Aries.

Today I made clear to Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian that Iran must not draw the Middle East into a wider conflict.

I am deeply concerned about the potential for miscalculation leading to further violence.

Iran should instead work to de-escalate and prevent further attacks.

I spoke with Israeli FM @Israel_Katz to underline that the deaths of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, including three British Nationals, are completely unacceptable.

Israel must urgently explain how this happened & make major changes to ensure safety of aid workers on the ground.
