Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the threat posed to the UK by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The Government has long held concerns over the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp's destabilising activity throughout the region, both directly and through a number of militant and proscribed groups. Through our close defence partnerships across the Middle East and the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, the Ministry of Defence keeps these potential threats under regular review.
