Sir Menzies Campbell has warned the government and the Conservative Party against supporting any future military action against Iran and reiterated his demand for a full inquiry into the disastrous invasion of Iraq.

Sir Ming said "Four years on from the invasion of Iraq, the suffering of the Iraqi people demonstrates the devastating consequences of ill-thought out military action in violation of the UN and international law. Messrs Blair, Brown and Cameron must give a firm commitment today that they will not support or play any part in an attack on Iran. In place of military action we need to see a commitment to meaningful regional engagement from all parties including the US, allied to a tough and credible sanctions regime."
