Special Interests
International Affairs
Struan is keenly interested in international affairs, with special interests in the political situation in Iran, Iraq, Latin America, China and Kazakhstan.
Struan was appointed President of the European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with Iraq in 2009. He visited Jordan shortly after his appointment to meet with political leaders to discuss the security situation in Iraq.
As President of the Friends of Free Iran Intergroup, Struan believes immediate, decisive action is to be taken against Iran. Rather than offer appeasement or military intervention, Struan has called for the support and empowerment of the main Iranian opposition movement to the mullahs, the People’s Mohajedin of Iran (PMOI), to help achieve regime change.
