Mr Falconer
I very much agree with my hon. Friend, on both the importance of diplomacy and the importance of BBC Persian, through which the UK makes an important contribution for Farsi speakers across the world. I have met many BBC Persian service journalists and they provide a vital service.
Mike Martin (Tunbridge Wells) (LD)
Does the Minister think it more or less likely that, as a result of the American airstrikes, Iran will get a nuclear bomb?
Mr Falconer
As I am sure the hon. Gentleman would expect, I will not comment on assessment at this stage, given the security and intelligence implications thereof.
