Bit pathetic really to consistently, have-a-go, at this government, as usual, because of, shock horror, they are guilty as charged for everything, because this really persistently stems to complete and utter venomous hatred of all things, Brexit.

Ranting about Brexit does not change the facts. She could have been freed years ago if the UK had paid the legally sanctioned debt.
Do you think that the UK government in power after 2009 should have paid the then legally acknowledged debt? Ben Wallace certainly thought so in 2020 ..

The European Union had placed sanctions on Iran in June 2008, so no payment could be made under the Labour government.
