Sir,
    The present quarrel between the US and Iran seems to be drifting dangerously near to a confrontation between the West and the Third World．It is understandable that the US should seek support from her allies within NATO but the result of this could be seen as an attempt by a group of powerful industrial countries to bully the people of a Third World country which, in recent years, had no cause to be grateful for the policies of the US.
    Surely the appropriate forum in which to search out a settlement to this extremely dangerous quarrel is the UN and the West should do its utmost, within that forum, to gather the greatest possible support from Third World, and particularly Islamic countries.
    I am well aware that the matter has been considered by the Security Council and the General Assembly and that the International Court of Justice has also pronounced in favor of the American case. I myself in no way support the behavior of the Iranians on this issue, which I believe to be dangerous and provocative. Nevertheless, it is my view that it would be wise for the Western  powers to continue to use the quiet diplomacy of the UN and also, if this should prove racticable, the good offices of Islamic countries who have no desire to be caught up in a middle Eastern conflict arising from the present tension between Iran and the US.
    In addition to exploiting still further the use of the machinery of the UN, I also consider that European leaders ought to suggest that it would be helpful if a summit meeting could take place between the American and Russian leaders to exchange views about the whole situation in the Middle East.
    Such an exchange of views would be unlikely to produce instant solutions, but it might help the Russian and American government to read each other’s minds and seek methods of backing away from the perilous trial of strength in that part of the world.
    Yours sincerely,
    Frank Hooley, MP
    House of Commons, London SW1
