Speaking to the Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg, Bob asked the Foreign Secretary to make a statement to the House on the implications for diplomatic relations with Iran, following the verdict of a Belgian court to convict Iranian diplomat Assadollah Assadi guilty of terrorism charges, following a terrorist plot in 2018.
The plot would have meant that MPs from a cross-party UK delegation and others from around the world who were attending a free Iran rally were murdered. Fortunately, the French and Belgian police foiled the plot. Assadolah Assadi and his accomplices have now been convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
