Iran

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received on the covert shipment of arms and missiles by Iran to militant factions within Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
Answer

I refer my hon. Friend to my answer of 12 December 2011, Official Report, column 604W. We remain deeply concerned by Iranian support for militant groups in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, as well as for the Syrian regime, and the negative impact this has on regional stability.
