The British, French and Australian governments say they support the United States' military operation that it said had “obliterated” the three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on June 22.
The allies say Iran must return to the negotiating table to strike a deal to abandon its nuclear programme.

00:10At midnight Friday into Saturday morning, a large B-2 strike package, 2.10 a.m.
00:23The world has long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, and we support action to prevent that, and that is what this is.
00:34The U.S. action was directed at specific sites central to Iran's nuclear program.
00:40We'd have been upfront about the challenge facing the international community, that is, dealing with the threat posed by any Iranian nuclear weapons program
00:50and dealing with the risk of regional escalation.
00:55And that's why Australia called upon Iran to come to the table and abandon any nuclear weapons program.
01:03Iran didn't come to the table, just as it has repeatedly failed to comply with its international obligations.
01:11You know, there's no other explanation for it to reach 60 other than engaging in a program that wasn't about civilian nuclear power.
01:24And that was clear.
01:25It was also very clear over a period of time.
01:30And as early as a week ago, of course, at the G7, when President Trump left the G7, made it clear that Iran had an opportunity to comply.
01:46They chose not to.
01:49And there have been consequences of that.
01:51Well, we've long had concerns about the Iranian nuclear program and been very clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
02:00The U.S. has now taken action to alleviate that threat.
02:05It is important that we now de-escalate the situation, stabilise the region and get the parties back around the table to negotiate.
02:15I'm very clear in my own mind that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
02:19And that is the greatest threat to stability in the region.
02:22I accept your challenge that there is a risk of escalation.
02:26That's a risk to the region.
02:28It's a risk beyond the region.
02:30And that's why all our focus has been on de-escalating, getting people back around to negotiate what is a very real threat in relation to the nuclear program.
02:38Un moment grave pour la paix et la stabilité au Proche et Moyen-Orient, avec des impacts très clairs aussi pour notre sécurité collectif.
02:48On se réunisse aujourd'hui, dix jours après les frappes entre Israël et l'Iran, les frappes américaines de la nuit dernière ouvrent une nouvelle phase
02:58qui impose évidemment la vigilance et une action résolue de notre part.
03:04Et que la reprise de discussion diplomatique et technique est le seul moyen d'obtenir l'objectif que nous recherchons tous,
03:10qui est que l'Iran ne puisse pas doter de l'armée nucléaire, mais également qu'il n'y ait pas d'escalade à contrôler dans la région.
03:14«Wir brauchen eine Verhandlungslösung. Sie est dringender denn je zuvor.
03:20Und der Iran ist jetzt gefordert, auch bereit zu sein zu direkten Gesprächen mit den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika.
03:28Wir im E3-Format werden dazu beitragen, was wir beitragen können. Herzlichen Dank.
