Iran

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of Iran's financial and material support to Hezbollah.

Answer

We remain deeply concerned by Iran’s ongoing support to the military wing of Hizballah including the provision of financial resources, military equipment and training. This support undermines prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East and contravenes UN Security Council Resolution 1747, which prohibits the export of weapons by Iran.
