Middle East: Iran Conflict

Contribution

It is the deal that we have today. It is a framework and it is a start. It is better than we had previously and it is enabling, for now, a ceasefire. The challenge, as I think is alluded to by my noble friend, is that this is just the beginning and there are many things that need to be discussed and agreed upon in order for the ceasefire to have any durability. It is the long-standing position of this Government and our predecessor Governments that we do not wish to see Iran take forward any ambitions that it may have with regard to nuclear weaponry.
