Yes, we should always promote diplomatic peace talks during foreign conflicts

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

No, we should not get involved in foreign conflicts

 @9GWV2MRdisagreed…3yrs3Y

War is an issue for all, regardless of localisation. World Peace benefits all people and is in everyone’s best interest, so pushing to resolved conflicts regardless of our involvement is the moral and right way to go.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

No, only if it is an immediate threat to our safety

 @9XSXYJY answered…2yrs2Y

We shouldn't get involved as both countries are dictatorships, we should only get involved if a stable liberal democratic country is under threat.

 @9J25S8V  from Maine  answered…2yrs2Y

Either way, significant progress is unrealistic as both countries are moving in the opposite directions

 @9P7LLKJanswered…2yrs2Y

Not at any cost or ridiculous bank rolling of diplomatic partys and stupid wages and budgets that are provided to foriegn emissaries.

 @9P6LYBDConservativeanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but we should not be involved unless invited, we should always promote diplomatic peace talks during foreign conflicts

 @9P2F86RConservativeanswered…2yrs2Y

No, because it’s a complete waste of time, Iran is too unstable and dangerous And I don’t Think Iran Wants to have peace I think the only way we are going to achieve peace as we are going to have to destroy Iran And their dictator, we need to do everything necessary to stop the spread of Islamic Republic. Saudi Arabia isn’t perfect, but we should still work with them and still consider them allies because Iran is much worse and is one of our greatest enemies

 @9NXX7X3answered…2yrs2Y

No. We in the anglosphere and the west in general do not sufficiently understand the historical or cultural complexities of middle Eastern nations to get involved. Indeed we do not even understand the cultural complexities of our own domestic Muslim population.

 @9NJVBP2answered…2yrs2Y

Why would anyone ever care what the UK thought about this? The world has moved on from thinking that brown people half a world away have to care about what the UK says.

 @9MPZDCTIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

we should only get involved in foreign conflicts if we have a realistic opportunity to dominate their national politics

 @9JHYPPSanswered…2yrs2Y

Regardless, we must force the complete dismantlement of Iran's nuclear programme and keep Iran under enough pressure to contain it locally until its current government is replaced by one which respects human rights, frees its people, and does not threaten other countries.

 @9J4FN73answered…2yrs2Y

No. The UK government is inept and unlikely to ameliorate anything between these two countries. Any UK interference would only be to protect economic interests. Support peace by all means, but do not send any UK politician.

 @9HSPMYPLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

Only in the sense of avoiding unnecessary loss of life, both sides are ruled by authoritarian governments with terrible human-rights records.

 @9HPMNNManswered…3yrs3Y

If the British Government kept its nose out of the middle east there might be a chance for the middle east to sort out its own affairs. Our role should be humanitarian aid in a non-aligned context and mediation support.

 @9GRC9WDGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and we should reduce sanctions on Iran while still exerting political pressure over huma rights concerns

 @8SZTB3ZGreen answered…3yrs3Y

Let them get on with it and stay out of it. Stop overestimating the importance of the UK in such and other world matters.

 @9FR2SG2from Arizona  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but we should not be expected to expend any of our own resources or time to do so. Let them sort this out, this is not our problem.

 @9FQSM5Qanswered…3yrs3Y

We should generally stay out of such matters but in the case of these two counties we should take action on the disgusting human rights violations they allow in law

 @9FLR736 answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, we should support peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran and other countries that are in conflicts but not impose or exercise any more power than is wanted.

 @9D587MYanswered…3yrs3Y

No we made a mistake in Iraq and should not get involved in Middle East conflicts

 @9Q953CSanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but again only if the sides are serious. If its a political ploy just to get one over on the other, then leave them to fight it out

 @9BCMHHKanswered…3yrs3Y

Our government should only interfere if both sides in talk process want them involved

 @9BCM3H2Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

On the basis that women and children are protected and have full access to education and get health

 @9BCHNSQanswered…3yrs3Y

No because it may get worse between the two of them and drag us into a war

 @9BCB54Zanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, however reduce our security relationship with Saudi Arabia and be wary of China’s motives as a “neutral” negotiator.

 @9BC6MQLanswered…3yrs3Y

 @7F46CCVLiberal Democrat from Maine  answered…3yrs3Y

No, both countries have ethical issues, particularly in fields like freedom of religion and womens' rights, and so we should stay out of it.

 @9D2PBVMConservativeanswered…3yrs3Y

I am wounding why is new Zealand Ireland is about live foreign policy which suits the country

 @9CYNKWQanswered…3yrs3Y

 @9CJYJ8SRejoin EUanswered…3yrs3Y

 @9CJGKYNanswered…3yrs3Y

 @9BTX993Conservativeanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, we must promote diplomacy between the two regional powers, as well as use the opportunity to reaffirm our relationship with Arabia, and reassert influence of the west over the region above that of the meddling Chinese.

 @9BC6WN9answered…3yrs3Y

Stop getting involved in with other countries and focus on improving our own.

 @9BD3FZTanswered…3yrs3Y

It is not important to our country or government and should be dealt with between the 2 countries not us.
