Keir Starmer backs US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities
The UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, has backed the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities and called on Tehran to return to negotiations. Donald Trump, the US president, announced overnight that the US had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, joining Israel's attacks. There was no UK involvement in the action. Starmer said on Sunday there was a 'risk of escalation' after the US strikes, including 'beyond the region'. He added: 'It is important that we now de-escalate the situation, stabilise the region and get the parties back around the table to negotiate.'

Attack on Islamic Centre in Belfast abhorrent and despicable
An attack on the Islamic Centre in Belfast was 'abhorrent' and 'absolutely despicable', Justice Minister Naomi Long has said. A viable device was thrown through a window of the centre during evening prayer on Friday. Advertisement A 34-year-old man was arrested and police are investigating whether the incident was a hate crime. The Alliance Party leader said it was 'despicable' that people were afraid to go to their place of worship. Police are currently at the scene of a security alert at University Road in south Belfast. A number of cordons are in place in the vicinity. A 34 year old man has been arrested and is currently in custody. Members of the public are asked to avoid the area at this time. — Police South Belfast (@PSNIBelfastS) June 21, 2025 'I think it was an abhorrent attack on people who were at worship, and I think that for any of us, we would accept that that is just not acceptable,' she told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme. 'This is not who we want to be as society. It's not what we want to be known for around the world. Advertisement 'I think it is despicable that people are afraid to go to their place of worship, afraid to go to live in their own homes or go to their school or go to their workplace because of fear of attack because of the colour of their skin or their religion. 'That just isn't acceptable, and that needs to be condemned unequivocally by everyone in society.' Mrs Long was also asked about policing resources in the wake of riots across Northern Ireland, which have been criticised as 'racist thuggery' by police. After disorder broke out in Ballymena for several nights after an alleged sexual assault of a girl, disturbances spread to other areas of Northern Ireland including Portadown, Larne, Belfast, Carrickfergus, Londonderry and Coleraine.

That money could have gone towards that. 'It's hugely frustrating at a time when our justice system is so stretched that we have people not just putting pressure on the resources of the PSNI, but destroying their own communities at a cost to everyone in our society, because that will all have to be repaired and rebuilt.' Advertisement She said £200 million in funding over five years requested by PSNI chief constable Jon Boutcher was a 'potential game changer' which would 'allow us to rebuild police numbers'.

Iran's proxy militias may be unable to help if Tehran opts to hit back at US
Iran's proxy militias across the Middle East have yet to retaliate for the overnight strikes against the Islamic Republic and are sending mixed signals about their willingness to strike US targets – or even Israel – in coming days. The apparent reluctance or inability of such groups to come to Iran's aid will limit Tehran's options if decision-makers there opt to escalate the conflict with the US. Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned the US on Sunday in a statement carried by state TV to 'expect regrettable responses' to its strikes on the country's nuclear sites. Iran, it said, would 'use options beyond the understanding … of the aggressor front' and would continue to target Israel, which has been hit by multiple waves of missile and drone attacks since it struck Iran on 13 June. On Friday, a new wave of Iranian missiles launched in a first response to the US strikes hit sites in central Israel, injuring at least 10 people, according to Israeli rescue services. The strongest statement in support of Tehran from the militant groups that make up its coalition of proxies across the Middle East – the so-called 'axis of resistance' – has come from the political bureau of the Houthi movement in Yemen. The Iran-backed group called on Muslim nations to join 'the jihad and resistance option as one front against the Zionist-American arrogance', saying it was ready to target US ships and warships in the Red Sea. The Houthis have already fought American forces in recent months, after the US president, Donald Trump, launched an air offensive against the group following months of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and against Israel. A ceasefire was agreed in May. 'The Houthis still retain enough capability to do what they like doing. If they want to hit US vessels in the Red Sea, they still have that capability. They are a wild card and the Iranians don't spend a lot of time trying to restrain them,' said Michael Knights, an expert in Iranian proxies at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. There is, however, little evidence that Iran-aligned and supported groups in Iraq, which have struck US targets in the past, were planning imminent action. Such groups could do considerable damage to US bases in Iraq, Syria, Kuwait and Jordan if mobilised, and have been attacked by the US in the past but are likely to be deterred by the potential high cost of launching new strikes against US. 'They could do some damage but the US understand these targets and would find them pretty fast,' said Knights. One Tehran-backed Shia militia in Iraq, Kata'ib Hezbollah, has threatened to attack 'US interests' in the Middle East in response to Washington's participation in Israel's support. One of its commanders, Abu Ali al-Askari, was quoted on CNN as saying that US bases in the region 'will become akin to duck-hunting grounds'. However, the group suffered heavy losses in US airstrikes after killing three US soldiers at a base in Jordan last year and may not follow through on its rhetoric. Hezbollah, the powerful Islamist militant militia based in Lebanon that has long been supported by Tehran, has made no official statement, with its officials briefing journalists in the region that it would stay out of any new clash between Iran and the US. Hezbollah, the keystone of Iran's axis of resistance, was very significantly weakened by Israel's air offensive and ground invasion of Lebanon last year. Its entire leadership was killed and stocks of missiles, intended to deter Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear programme, destroyed. Hamas, another member of the coalition of militant groups built up by Tehran over recent decades, is in no position to threaten the US or Israel currently, analysts said. Links between the proxies and Tehran have been further weakened in the last week after assassinations conducted by Israel. Several senior officials in the Revolutionary Guards killed in airstrikes were involved in running the coalition of militant groups, including Behnam Shahriyari, who Israeli military officials said was in charge of equipping proxy forces with weapons including ballistic missiles. Shahriyari was killed while driving in western Iran on Friday, Israel's military said. The US has about 20 bases in the Middle East and tens of thousands of troops. It also has an extensive diplomatic presence, that could potentially be targeted. The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, said military generals have elevated protection measures across the region, especially in Iraq, Syria, and the Gulf. 'Our forces remain on high alert and are fully postured to respond to any Iranian retaliation or proxy attacks, which would be an incredibly poor choice,' Hegseth told reporters at a press conference on Sunday. Underlining the threat, a Middle East-based maritime centre overseen by the US. military warned on Sunday that there was a 'high' risk to US-associated ships after the American strikes. 'The threat to US-associated commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden is currently assessed as HIGH,' the Joint Maritime Information Center wrote in an advisory to shippers. Other means of retaliation available to Tehran may take longer to mobilise. In previous decades, Iran has used massive bomb attacks against US troops in Lebanon or Jewish and Israeli targets as far away as Argentina. Last week, the FBI intensified investigation and monitoring of 'sleeper cells' linked to Hezbollah in the US.

Hague NATO summit protest shifts focus to Iran
THE HAGUE, June 22 (Reuters) - An anti-NATO protest in The Hague on Sunday shifted its focus to Iran after overnight U.S. strikes hit key nuclear sites there. The peaceful demonstration took place days before The Hague hosts a NATO summit. The planned protest against NATO's military policies pivoted to condemnation of the U.S. attacks on Iran, with participants voicing concern about rising tensions in the Middle East. Thousands marched toward the Peace Palace, home to the International Court of Justice, a Reuters witness said. Organizers estimated the crowd at 5,000, while police said they do not track attendance numbers. Protesters carried banners calling for de-escalation, diplomacy, and for NATO to be disbanded, with some saying "No Iran War" and "Hands off Iran". Iranian protester Nikita Shahbazi told Reuters it was "heartbreaking" to see what is going on in her home country. "I feel devastated. (The U.S. attacks) can trigger a wider war. It has opened the paths for illegal attacks on nuclear installations everywhere in the world." Protesters also opposed a proposed 5% defence spending target pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump and backed by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who hopes to secure consensus at the summit, beginning on Wednesday. "There's no need for this provocation, this 5% of GDP spending on weapons, that will benefit the military-industrial complex. This has nothing to do with the needs of people," said British protester Pippa Bartolotti.
