The west should launch a preventative attack on Iran, Wim Kortehoeven, MP from the anti-Islam PVV said on Tuesday.

Speaking during a debate on the foreign ministry’s budget, Kortehoeven said parliament is not serious enough about the risk posed by Iran and Islam.
‘That is why we should understand we will have to carry out an act of war…’ he said. ‘There should be preventative action to prevent our own destruction.’
Reputation
During the debate, a number of MPs expressed their concerns about the Netherlands international reputation.
VVD MP Atzo Nicolaï said the decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan had damaged Dutch standing abroad.
But opposition MPs argued the role given to the ‘islamaphobic PVV’ by the current minority government had also hit the country’s reputation.
The debate will continue on Wednesday.
