Iran: Lib Dems call on Government to publish legal advice

19 Jun 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to reports that the Attorney General has warned that the UK joining in on a war in Iran may be illegal, Ed Davey, Liberal Democrat Leader, said:

“The Government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran.

“The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.”

ENDS
