Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on North Africa and the Middle East.


North Africa and the Middle East

The hon. Gentleman does not overstate his case. The words that he uses are wholly appropriate to the words and behaviour of the President of Iran. I do not have direct evidence of Iranian interference in, for instance, the affairs of Bahrain—although many would suspect such interference and influence—but with Iran's links to Hezbollah and Hamas, I do not think that it is currently playing a positive role in bringing about peace in the middle east.
