We remain deeply concerned by Iran's destabilising activities across the Middle East and the support it receives from other countries that are in violation of the UN arms embargo.

The Government previously announced significant measures against Iran and Russia, following the Iranian regime's transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia for use on the battlefield in Ukraine.

The UK now has over 550 sanctions against Iranian linked individuals and entities, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has been sanctioned in its entirety. Over 240 sanctions have been imposed since July 2024.
