Lord Callanan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 March 2026

Debate

Iran and the Middle East

Contribution

My Lords, can I probe the noble Baroness a little further on her answer to my noble friend Lord Harper? Initially, the UK denied the use of our bases for offensive strikes on Iran and then, 48 hours later, the Government permitted the use of the bases for defensive strikes. Can she explain the difference between striking Iran offensively and defensively please?
