The parliamentary elections in Britain will be held on Thursday, May 6. Polls indicate a tight race between the two main parties, the ruling Conservative Party and the opposition Labour Party. These two major parties, along with smaller parties such as the Liberal Democrats, the UK Independence Party, the Scottish National Party, and the Greens, are competing for 650 parliamentary seats. According to the British Constitution, the leader of the party that secures the majority of seats will assume the position of Prime Minister. If the Conservative Party wins, there will not be much change in foreign policy; however, if the Labour Party wins, what changes will the future British government's foreign policy towards Iran include? Mehrdad Khansari, a former diplomat and political analyst in London, discussed this with Radio Farda. Khansari believes that if the Labour Party wins, there will not be significant changes in London's policies regarding Tehran. According to this expert, the policies of both parties regarding Iran are quite similar, and both parties are keen to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear program and subsequently develop relations.
