The UK values its relationships with Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana and Niger and will continue to work in partnership to monitor security developments in these countries. The UK is committed to working with the international community to ensure Iran abides by international laws and norms and is held to account for its destabilising activity. We have sanctions designations on over 300 Iranian individuals and entities for their role in weapons proliferation, human rights abuses, and terrorism, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in its entirety.
