Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his US counterpart on the policy of the US administration on Iran.

We work closely with the US on all our Middle East priorities, and the Foreign Secretary has specifically discussed Iran with Secretary Rubio on multiple occasions.

We fully support the US efforts to reach a negotiated solution on Iran's nuclear programme.

In parallel, we will continue to work with the US to hold Iran to account for both its malign regional activity and its state threats activity against UK-based targets, including in multilateral fora and through our sanctions regimes.
