PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Iran: Terrorism (30 June 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his counterparts in countries in the Gulf region on support provided by Iran to international terror groups.

Asked by:
Bob Blackman (Conservative)

Answer

We regularly discuss regional security challenges – including those posed by Iran’s links to armed groups – with our Gulf partners. The Foreign Secretary most recently met Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) Foreign Ministers on this topic at the UK-GCC Strategic Dialogue on 2 June. We continue to encourage Iran to break its links with armed groups undermining stability and to work towards peace in the Middle East.
