My Lords, I thank the Minister for her reply. I simply remind the House that that meeting, which took place during the parliamentary Recess, was the first direct, open meeting held between the two countries at a senior level for 48 years. Importantly, they both agreed that they wanted to see a stable, secure and democratic Iraq. First, do Her Majesty’s Government welcome the suggestion put forward by the Iranian side that there should be a continuation of that trialogue between Iraq, Iran and the United States over the forthcoming months and years? Secondly, does the Minister agree that it is important for both the United States and Iran to desist from activities that upset and lead to distrust on the part of the other country?

My Lords, on the first question, the organisation of future meetings is, of course, for the parties concerned. However, Her Majesty’s Government would welcome any future contact between the three parties, because we believe that it is important to engage in dialogue and that it is the best way of bringing about a secure situation in Iraq. On the second question, we want all countries, be they neighbours or those active in Iraq, to desist from any actions that destabilise that country or the region itself.

My Lords, is the noble Baroness the Leader of the House aware of the article that appeared in yesterday’s Financial Times, written by that distinguished Republican senator, Senator Chuck Hagel, in which he suggested that there had to be direct dialogue between Iran and the United States, bearing in mind not least the fact that one of the factors that may be playing on the mind of the Iranian Government is their sense of being increasingly surrounded by nuclear powers, most of whose adherence is towards the western group? Is any active attempt being made to discuss the possibility of security guarantees to Iran, on the understanding of course that that would imply that Iran kept properly and completely to the requests of the IAEA?

My Lords, the noble Baroness asked me two separate questions. Whether the United States should engage in bilateral discussions with Iran is a question for the United States to answer, but I draw the noble Baroness’s attention to a press briefing by the White House press secretary on 5 May, in which he said:"““it’s not a bilateral issue between the United States and Iran. It’s a problem that Iran has with the world””."
That answers the first part of the noble Baroness’s question. With respect to security guarantees, I can assure the noble Baroness that they have featured in the discussions with Iran.
