Phil Goff: Former Foreign Minister on the Government's stance on the conflict in the Middle East
Published 2 months ago
Description
The Prime Minister’s being accused of playing politics over Iran.
Christopher Luxon says the Government will make a decision very shortly on whether to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity.
Former Foreign Minister Phil Goff told Ryan Bridge if Luxon wanted to take a stand, he should have done it already, as moving now would look opportunistic.
He's questioning why the Government's treating Iran differently than countries like Russia, and thinks we need consistency.
