Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.


EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan

It is very difficult to say, when we are debating with the Iranians at the moment, whether they will accept that they will be under the non-proliferation treaty that they have signed up to. We have presented Iran with a choice: it can either be part of the international community and get all the advantages of being such a part, including being free of sanctions, or it can allow itself to become isolated by defying the international community on nuclear weapons. That is the choice that Iran has to make, and it affects all the other areas in which we operate.
