Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 January 2026

Debate

Iran

Contribution

Let me say again that the future of Iran must be for the Iranian people. We should also be clear that it is not currently—there is not currently any opportunity for the Iranian people to have their voices heard, because when they have sought to do so, we have seen this incredibly horrifying, brutal repression. That is why we are urging an immediate end to the violence and fundamental change in Iran.
