Iran: National Security
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking with the Secretary of State for the Home Department to help deter malign Iranian activity in the UK.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
Iran's malign activity is unacceptable. In response the to the regime's human rights violations, nuclear weapons programme, malign influence internationally and state threats, the UK has more than 450 sanctions designations in place on Iranian individuals and entities. The UK has also sanctioned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in its entirety.
We will continue to use all tools at our disposal, to protect the UK and its overseas interests against any threats from the Iranian state.
