It's because of his position obviously. It's not advisable for the foreign secretary to be upsetting the Saudis if it's government policy to engage with and sell weapons to them. Ditto Iran. In fact we have a British Citizen in prison in Iran as we speak whom we would quite like to get out and this isn't going to do that any favours. It's the same naivety we mock in Corbyn occasionally.
