Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of the United States about the objectives of the Iran Action Group created by the United States State Department on 16 August, in particular the commitment to a whole-of-government effort to change the Iranian regime’s behaviour.

Ministers and officials across Government regularly discuss Iran policy with their US counterparts, including staff in the Iran Action Group. The Prime Minister and President Trump most recently discussed Iran policy when they met at the UN General Assembly in September. Where we have differences, we discuss these frankly, but we are also clear about the areas where we agree, such as the need to address Iran’s destabilising regional behaviour and missile activity. We await more detail from the US on their proposals on the way forward.
