Motion text

That this House notes with grave concern Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s unilateral military action against Iran; expresses its horror at how Iran’s reckless response has engulfed the wider Middle East in this war; believes that multilateralism, diplomacy, and the use of economic levers are the only legitimate and sustainable means through which to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions and help deliver genuine freedom for the Iranian people; further believes that the UK must not be complicit in this military action; recognises that this war is already causing tangible harm to British families through its impact on higher energy costs; agrees that any decision on the deployment of British Armed Forces into conflict must be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament; calls on the Prime Minister to stand firm against Trump's bullying, to avoid Britain being further dragged into this war; and further calls on the Prime Minister to cancel forthcoming British state visits to the US, given President Trump’s ongoing war and disparaging remarks about the UK and other allies who were not consulted on the decision to go to war.
