We routinely discuss with Iran their response to COVID-19. The UK is taking a key role in the global response to the virus. Our support is directed to help the most vulnerable across the globe, which is why we have provided up to £2m of financial aid and funding for technical expertise to UN agencies in Iran, to combat the rapid spread of the disease.
