Iran

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of Iran's financial and material support for Hezbollah.

Answer

We continue to have serious concerns about Iran's support for the military wing of Hizballah. This support includes the provision of significant financial resources, military equipment and training, in contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 1747, which prohibits the export of weapons by Iran. We call on Iran to implement its obligations under this resolution and end its military support which undermines regional security.
