00:06Iran is a regime that has murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens,
00:10literally, within the last few weeks.
00:13It has been attacking its neighbours in one form or another

00:19It has been planning atrocities on our own soil,
00:22which has been considerable concern to our security services,
00:25and it's been pursuing a viable nuclear weapon.
00:28And under those circumstances, when the Israelis and America went in and did what they did
00:33to get on top of those kind of threats,
00:36we should have been there standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies.
00:39And the fact that we haven't, I'm afraid, is going to be very difficult for us.
