Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to increase sanctions on the government of Iran to reflect that government’s support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through the supply of weapons.

In recent months we have designated 2 entities and 6 individuals involved in supplying kamikaze drones for Russia to use in Ukraine. These add to the over 300 UK designations of Iranian individuals and entities for their role in weapons proliferation, human rights abuses and terrorism, which include those involved in Iran's drone programme. The UK will continue to hold Iran to account, but the Government does not speculate on specific future sanctions, as to do so could reduce their impact.
