UK fears US-Israel conflict with Iran spiralling into 'wider regional conflict'

The UK government expressed the fear Saturday that the military strikes pitting the United States and Israel against Iran could blow up into a broader Middle East conflict.

"We do not want to see further escalation into a wider regional conflict," a government spokesperson said, adding that the UK's "immediate priority" was the safety of its citizens in the region.
