When we were in Iran and met its Minister for Foreign Affairs, points were made about the need for humanitarian aid, humanitarian corridors and Iranian support for same. Interestingly, his own background is in human rights. It does not make sense that Iran, which is a main player in this regard, was invited to the peace talks but then had its invitation withdrawn. It was a pity that the Minister of State could not tell the Minister when he met him that our embassy would be reopening in Tehran.
