Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed the UK will not join US and Israeli offensive strikes during an address to the House of Commons.
The Prime Minister confirmed the decision is in accordance with international law, but it will remain under review.
"We are not joining the strikes, but we will continue our defensive action in the region," the PM said.
He also defended the Government’s position on Iran, saying: "The only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source, in their storage depots, or at the launches."
In response, Kemi Badenoch said the Prime Minister "still cannot say whether he backs the strikes or not."
"Today, the president of the United States has taken the extraordinary step of rebuking the Prime Minister publicly, saying he took far too long to grant access," the Tory leader hit back, noting the Government’s delay in allowing the use of shared military bases.
"We are told that this dither and delay is because of concerns over international law, but I am afraid that explanation simply does not hold."
The address comes just hours after Donald Trump revealed he was "very disappointed" with the Prime Minister for his hesitation.
