Security in the Gulf and in Europe are interlinked. I extended our full solidarity to the Gulf Cooperation Council and its members @GCCSG @jasemalbudaiwi as they face unprovoked attacks from Iran. Recent events demonstrate very clearly why Iran should never have nuclear weapons. Grateful also for the solidarity and mediation efforts many Gulf States have shown in response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Times are calling for a closer partnership between Europe and the Gulf countries. The EU-GCC Summit later this year offers us the perfect opportunity to further strengthen our relations. I’m looking forward to continuing the discussions in Cyprus next week.

This is a moment of extreme danger for civilians in Iran and the wider region. For President Trump to threaten that 'a whole civilisation will die tonight' echoes genocidal language. The UK government must urgently end military support to the US that could enable crimes under international law, including war crimes. Amnesty International is unequivocal: threatening to systematically destroy civilian infrastructure is a threat to commit war crimes. Attacking power plants essential to the survival of tens of millions of civilians would be unlawful. The UK must act now. Read on: amn.st/6015B6vvkL


Onward.
