•China's Mao Ning stated US-Israeli strikes lack UN Security Council authorization and violate international law, expressing concern over regional fallout and Strait of Hormuz threats.
•British PM Keir Starmer emphasized a negotiated settlement for Iran's nuclear ambitions, stating the UK was not involved in initial strikes.
