At least 400 British Muslims have joined the jihadist fanatics bringing terror to Iraq and Syria, William Hague warned last night.
In his first statement to MPs since the crisis in Iraq erupted more than a week ago, the Foreign Secretary said security chiefs were becoming increasingly alarmed at the prospect that British extremists waging jihad in the region could bring their murderous philosophy and methods to the streets of the UK.
He said some were ‘inevitably fighting with ISIS’ – the extremist group whose barbaric tactics and seizure of a huge swathes of Iraq have provoked international outrage.
Mr Hague also revealed Britain was on the brink of an astonishing diplomatic U-turn over Iran, in the hope that Tehran may be able to help prevent the total collapse of its neighbour.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg also offered ‘passive assistance’ to the US, hinting Britain could allow airbases to be used to launch ‘well-judged, targeted action’ against the rapid spread of the ISIS – Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria.
Iraq has been plunged into its bloodiest crisis since the withdrawal of US troops in 2011. ISIS rebels, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, are said to have murdered 1,700 soldiers last week.
Iran’s President Rouhani has said he is was willing to take part in talks with other countries and has claimed to have had written correspondence with US President Barack Obama.
Mr Hague revealed he had also spoken to Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
The Foreign Secretary told the Commons: ‘We do have, over many decades including now, important common interests with Iran. That includes stability in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
‘There are many other issues – dealing with the narcotics trade and so on – on which Iran and the UK have common interests.
‘That is a very good argument for trying to advance our bilateral relations. Of course, we do also have to deal with the issue of Iran’s nuclear programme.
‘We do need Iran to make its contribution to stability in the region by seizing support for sectarian groups in other parts of the region.’
It came amid reports that Tehran is considering military support to the Shia-led administration in Iraq.
Representatives of Iran and the Western powers met in Vienna to discuss international concerns about Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
The Foreign Office declined to discuss the content of Mr Hague’s call. The Foreign Secretary will brief MPs on the latest situation in an oral statement to the House of Commons this afternoon.
Prime Minister David Cameron’s official spokesman indicated that the UK saw a role for regional powers such as Iran in supporting the Baghdad government, telling reporters at a Westminster media briefing: ‘In terms of the decisions around the immediate security response in Iraq, those are for the Iraqi authorities to take.
