Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar denounced his father’s praise of Iran’s late leader, calling him a brutal dictator, while supporting limited U.S. military use of British bases.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar condemned his father’s praise of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calling him a “brutal dictator” responsible for regional instability and violence.
His father, a former Glasgow MP, had posted a tribute in Urdu calling Khamenei a “martyr” and “strong voice of resistance” after his death in U.S.-Israeli air strikes.
Sarwar said he strongly disagrees with the remarks, emphasizing Iran’s threats to regional security and nuclear ambitions, while supporting limited U.S. military operations from British bases at Diego Garcia for defensive purposes.
He expressed embarrassment but said differing views within families are normal, noting he has not spoken to his father.
The comments come amid UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to allow U.S. use of British military facilities in the region.
