My Lords, we all recognise that the question of using force against Iran is delicate and dangerous and that the consequences either way could be appalling. The matter needs to be approached with the greatest care. We all wish the new Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary, Mrs Beckett, well in her job. She carries a heavy burden. Some of us are a bit puzzled about why the previous incumbent got the heave-ho, but that is another matter.
Does the Minister agree that in the end the Iranians will have to talk to someone—although they are very determined to pursue their own policies—and that the people they are most likely to talk to are their Russian neighbours or Beijing, which is one of their major customers, or Delhi or Tokyo, which are major customers, too? Does she agree that the approach of putting weight on the Asian connections with Iran might be better than any of the blood-curdling threats about force from Washington or even the manoeuvres from Brussels, which so far have been remarkably unsuccessful, indeed counterproductive?

My Lords, of course we all join in wishing the new Foreign Secretary well. Working with Russia, China and others is very much a part of our objective. We all share the same objectives. The noble Lord may have heard the comments of the new Foreign Secretary this morning. She made it clear that the P5 plus Germany, which met in New York last night, shared the same objectives, although there are differences among us about the best way of achieving them.
It would be fair to say that the European Union’s discussions with Iran—the E3 discussions, as they have been called—have achieved results. We have brought the international community together and raised the profile of international concerns about Iranian activity. Noble Lords will recall that Iran initially agreed to suspend its activities and that it was only in the summer of last year that those activities were resumed.
