Iran Air: Sanctions
- Question
-
To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, whether he has discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the potential merits of banning flights by Iran Air to the UK.
- Answer
-
Alongside Whitehall partners we continue to explore measures to deter Iran from their hostile and destabilising activity. However, we do not publicly speculate on future restrictive measures.
We have however sanctioned more than 400 Iranian individuals and entities, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in its entirety - for roles in weapons proliferation, regional conflicts, human rights violations, and threats to UK based individuals. We have also introduced new UK trade restrictions on the supply of drone components as part of our wider Iran sanctions regime introduced in December 2023.
