“The first British ministerial visit to Iran in 12 years is an important moment but one that should be managed with extreme caution. It is only four years since an angry, politically steered mob rampaged through the embassy and set fire to the Union Jack. Iran remains a sponsor of terrorism throughout the Middle East and an egregious abuser of human rights. Britain must be ready to criticise the government openly.” (The Times newspaper editorial, 24/08/2015)
