	Description:		The Prime Minister says he cannot make an assessment on whether the United States and Israel's attack on Iran was lawful, as New Zealand isn't party to all the information. The government has called for de-escalation and a return to negotiations - criticising the Iranian regime for threatening international peace and security but not saying whether it believes the strikes carried out by the US and Israel were lawful.
