Iraq and Iran: Stability Talks
- Question
- My Lords, clearly Iran is the regional superpower after the invasion andcan use that power for good or for ill. Is it the Government’s view that Iran, although there may be short-term temptations, is prepared to see that in the longer term it has in interest in the unity and stability of Iraq? Is it prepared to disaggregate Iraq from the other pressing problems—nuclear, Lebanon and so on—which affect it?
- Answer
-
My Lords, when we have discussions with Iran, obviously Her Majesty’s Government at every level discusses all the issues which are pertinent to our relationship. These include Iraq, stability of the region and the nuclear issue. I assure my noble friend that we now speak to Iran quite regularly on Iraq.
