The Iranian Connection
- 04 September 2006
Taken from the New Statesman archive, 10 December 1976.
This is Robin Cook at his troublemaking best, just two years into his parliamentary career, reducing to a mockery a policy of his own government.

Cook contributed to the New Statesman over many years. He died last summer.
