London, June 23 (AP) Britain’s Foreign Minister has expressed confidence that the United States is not attempting to overthrow Iran’s government, despite a social media post from President Donald Trump suggesting the opposite.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated on Monday that it is evident that neither Israel nor the United States is targeting the civilian leadership in Tehran. He clarified that this course of action is not currently being considered.

Lammy mentioned he had discussions with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday. The UK is advocating for a return to serious diplomatic efforts with Iran.

In his interview with the BBC, Lammy noted he has not yet reviewed an assessment regarding whether the recent strikes have significantly undermined Iran's capacity to develop a nuclear program.

He emphasized that ultimately, the situation must be addressed through diplomatic channels. (AP)
