It has been two weeks since the journalist working for Iran International was attacked on the streets of our own capital. The journalists and families of those working for BBC Persia Service live under constant threat. The organisation responsible for those acts is the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), working for the Iranian regime, so will my right hon. Friend therefore look to see what further measures can be taken, including outlawing the IRGC?
Rishi Sunak The Prime Minister, Leader of the Conservative Party
I am happy to reassure my right hon. Friend that, as we speak, we are in active dialogue with our international partners, following yesterday’s G7 call, to co-ordinate further diplomatic measures to contain the threat from Iran.
