Many young men serving in the British Army, including those from my part of the country in Nottinghamshire, were killed year after year by bombs made by Iranian forces at the behest of Ayatollah Khamenei. Tonight my thoughts will be with them. Nobody should mourn this evil man. He masterminded terrorism around the world and the murder of tens of thousands of his own people. Many people in positions of power in our country were prepared to negotiate with him. The foreign policy establishment advised against imposing stricter sanctions, or proscribing the IRGC. They naively thought he would stop pursuing nuclear weapons, killing our people and orchestrating terrorism. They were proved wrong time and again. Their weakness allowed his regime to gain a foothold in our country - something we must now stamp out. Good riddance to him.
