The Prime Minister
We are taking a number of measures to deal with Iranian threats, as the hon. Gentleman would expect.
Kim Johnson (Liverpool Riverside) (Lab)
The Prime Minister claims that lessons have been learned from Iraq, and I really hope that is true. Netanyahu and Trump instigated an illegal act of aggression, putting at risk the lives of thousands of people, including UK nationals and our military. Does the Prime Minister agree that diplomacy and de-escalation are needed if we are not to bring Britain into a reckless and catastrophic war, and can he provide details about this “viable, thought-through plan” to repatriate our nationals?
The Prime Minister
I assure my hon. Friend that I will continue to apply the principles that I have set out, and will work to de-escalate across the region.
