In a speech on November 4 in Banquetting Hall in Whitehall, London on, titled ” Prospects in the Middle East” , British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, said:” We have made Iran serious offers of engagement, reintegration, and support with civilian nuclear capacity, if they halt their enrichment-related activities as required by five UN Security Council Resolutions. Tehran should be in no doubt that unless they stop enriching uranium we will continue to step-up the pressure.
The rhetoric of President Ahmedinejad is directed against Israel. The support for Hamas and Hizbollah is directed against Israel. But there is a growing awareness that Iran’s nuclear programme poses a threat to regional stability and therefore to all countries in the region.

I don’t underestimate the scale of the challenge or the size of the task But the scale of the challenge is what makes our engagement – all of our engagement, in Government, in Parliament, in business, in civil society, all the more necessary.”
