Photograph: Bryan O’BrienOpposition politicians have piled pressure on the Government to state that the attack on Iran by the United States and Israel amounts to a breach of international law. However, she stopped short of explicitly saying this amounts to a breach of international law. He urged the Government to call it “for what it is” – a “breach of international law”. He criticised Iran’s government as an “abhorrent regime” and said Israel and the US were breaking international law. He said actions by “multiple parties” in recent days had “undermined” principles of international law.
