It doesn’t matter if Israel intercepts 25, 50, 75 or 100% of the threat. You can’t accept as new normal the Islamic Republic of Iran firing ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones at Israel. Period. This is a regime that wants nuclear weapons. Major consequences required.

I’d like to take this moment to inform you that Iran is the current Chair of the UN Conference on Disarmament.

The UN is a joke.

Archbishops renew appeal for prayers for peace in the Middle East: A statement from Archbishop John McDowell and Archbishop Michael Jackson:

Brilliant. As always.

I condemn Iran's attacks in the strongest possible terms and reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel.

My full statement on Iran’s attacks against Israel:

Huge congratulations to Belfast Composer Neil Martin neil martin who curated this very special evening and in particular on his spectacular finale. What an ambassador for music in Belfast. Bravo 👏🌟👏

Bar Ukraine.

Thank you Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for the clear message of support for Israel’s security.

We are praying for the safety of Israel and all its citizens, as well as the entire region, as the Iranian regime launches a direct attack.

“Serving as Colonel of the Scots Guards since 1974, the longest anyone has spent in this role, has been a true honour and one which will forever fill me with great joy.” - The Duke of Kent

Iran's wide-scale coordinated attack demonstrates it poses not only a regional threat but an international one.

Together with a defense coalition of international partners, we achieved a successful interception of 99% of aerial threats launched by Iran.

We stand strong…

Tonight marks a chilling milestone: For the first time ever, #Iran will try to strike Israel directly from its own soil. This follows months of proxy battles through Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. We cannot overlook this escalation.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 August 1942 in a transport of 827 Jews deported from Angers St. Laud. She did not survive.

The storm of war is gathering in Europe & we have our heads in the sand

We need to have “some very grown up mature conversations”. If other EU countries decide to go on a particular route “we have to make a decision whether we go down that road”.

Tonight’s the calm before the storm for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines #Reservists as they prepare to take on Army Reservists at the inaugural Reserves Football Tournament at #Aldershot tomorrow - best of luck to everyone (but mainly the Maritime Reserves Football Team!) #BringItHome ⚓️⚽️

Stunning lack of Ard Fheis judgement by Simon Harris TD & Micheál Martin . Harris cancels Israeli ambassadors invite to event that coincides with commemoration of 1,200 slaughtered, Martin doesn’t invite her& calls on Iran to not attack Israel then it does & both condemn Israel

Hamas, PIJ, Hizbollah& the Houthis are Iranian proxies that have been firing missiles at Israel for 6 months,Iran has now fired hundreds of missiles directly at Israel,it has violated the sovereign airspace of other states, incl Jordan. Irish gov has never criticised Iran. Why?

Watch Israel defending the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa Mosque from Iranian missile and drones! For the murderous Ayatollah regime, murdering Israelis is more important than safeguarding Islamic holy sites. The UN must clearly and unambiguously condemn the Iranian attack on Israel…
