The UK was not involved in US strikes on Iran that took place over the weekend, the armed forces minister Luke Pollard has said.
When pressed on if the UK agreed with US action in Iran, the minister told Sky News that he would not comment.
"What we can say is we were not involved in the military action that the US took, nor have we been involved in the action the Israeli government have been taking against Iran," he said.
"Our focus and the work that we are doing in conjunction with our US allies… is to put the pressure on the Iranian regime to get back to negotiations, because a diplomatic solution is how we bring this crisis to an end."
