Iran: Protests

Contribution

We owe the security services our respect and thanks for thwarting over 20 assassination attempts on British soil against Iranians. This situation will not die down. I suspect that both sides will become more entrenched and the regime, if it is trying to hold on, is likely to become more violent towards those who oppose it. With that in mind, what can the Minister say to reassure those brave Iranians living in the United Kingdom that everything will be done to protect them from agents of a foreign power who may seek to carry out atrocities against them on British soil?
