Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has publicly condemned his father, Mohammad Sarwar, for praising Iran’s late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in US-Israeli air strikes. Mohammad Sarwar, a former MP and Punjab governor, called Khamenei a “martyr” and a “strong voice of resistance”, comments his son labelled “wrong” and “deeply” disagreed with. The row comes amid heightened Middle East tensions, with Sarwar urging de-escalation and supporting limited UK cooperation with US defensive operations against Iran.
