Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of the foreign sanctions on Iran on that country's ability to respond to covid-19.
We are working with the international community to ensure that Iran receives the humanitarian support it needs: the E3 (the UK, France and Germany) have provided a EUR 5 million package of financial and material assistance to Iran via the World Health Organisation and UN bodies to help with the response.
