Conservative — Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

Iran: Protests

Contribution

Many of us will have read the reports in The Sunday Times yesterday detailing how IRGC forces burnt alive and machine-gunned down so many, and that this is not happening in just one town or one city, but right across Iran. We have very few levers in this country to make a difference, but one of them is to proscribe the IRGC. Please, Minister, just do it and make some small difference to send a clear message and make the Iranian people understand that we stand with them.
