Debate

Iran: Protests

Contribution

My Lords, I agree with all those who have condemned the killing of innocent protesters in Iran, but will the Minister agree that the Iranian nation is very resilient? We have seen that the Iranian public know how to change their Governments. We saw the end of the King of Iran’s time, when the protesters were on the roads in their tens of thousands, and in the end they forced the King to leave the country. Whether we liked it or not, there was a change of Government. Similarly, now, when the people of Iran have had enough of this regime and want a change, they are capable of changing their Government on their own, and they do not need external invasion or plans for a change of regime to be practised in their country.
