This is an important conference on Iran and the future of stability in the region and across the world. It is the first time that I’ve visited Albania. What is clear today … is the genuine enthusiasm and hunger of everyone here to ensure a democratic and pluralistic Iran once more. The great privilege of yesterday was being able to hear firsthand the testimony of those who have suffered at the hands of the brutal Iranian regime. And now, as we see with thousands of demonstrations in Iran, we can see the Iranian people are ready for real change. And the crucial reason for that hunger for real change is the illegitimate actions of the Iranian state in sponsoring world terrorism and of the actions of the IRGC. It is incumbent upon all of us from the UK and the EU to work as hard as we can to ensure that that evil organization is proscribed in the West and the Iranian people suffer no longer. We will do all we can to support you.
