Hague: Iran attack entirely possible
William Hague has warned that if Iran continues with attempts to develop a nuclear weapon it is "entirely possible" it will come under attack, but said the UK Government is not currently planning for such action.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5Live, the Foreign Secretary warned that we should not "underestimate the downsides" of taking military action, which could lead to "very serious" consequences.
"It is not a time for military action, it is a time for intense diplomacy and economic pressure," Mr Hague said.
However he insisted the UK could not take any option off the table and rule out such action, if Iran does not take negotiations seriously.
Speaking earlier on the Andrew Marr Show, the Foreign Secretary said Iran was "increasingly willing" to sponsor terrorist attacks on its political enemies, and suggested that it may have been involved in recent attacks on Israeli diplomats.
In a move likely to heighten political tensions, Iran today announced it was stopping oil sales to British and French companies, four months ahead of the European Union embargo coming into effect on July 1.
Jim Murphy called on the Government to step up the pressure on Iran, warning that a nuclear Iran was "the worst possible option".
The Shadow Defence Secretary told Murnaghan: "Let’s tighten the noose, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze again on economic and diplomatic sanctions and let’s see where that gets us. But nothing’s off the table when dealing with the threat of Iran except they should not be allowed to get a nuclear bomb.”
Iran is expanding its nuclear programme by instaling thousands of news centrifluges near the city of Qom, according to a diplomat who has spoken to the BBC.
