Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to prevent the supply of (a) drones and (b) missiles from Iran to Russia.

The UK condemns Iranian support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Iran's supply of drones is in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, and is causing human suffering and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Iran supplying ballistic missiles to Russia would be a significant escalation. Last month, new UK sanctions targeted Iranian individuals and businesses responsible for supplying Russia with drones. We are working with France and Germany to support a UN investigation into the Iranian transfers, and we will continue to work with the international community to hold Russia and Iran to account.
