British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the UK would not support an Israeli strike against Iran.

In an interview with NBC published Thursday, Cameron said: “I don't think as we stand today that military action by Israel would be justified. I don't think the Israelis should take that action now, we've told them they shouldn't, and we've said that we wouldn't support it if they did.”

But Cameron added that "we are a friend of Israel. Israel has a right to exist as a democratic state. It's very important that Israel knows it has strong allies like America and like the United Kingdom."

“I don't support action now because, frankly, we've got more road to run in putting in place sanctions, in putting in place tough measures against the Iranian regime,” Cameron said. "We will not take any option off the table".

"They can have civil nuclear power," he said. "If they give up their mission of having military nuclear power, they can have a future as a country that has normal relations with the rest of the world."
