The Foreign Secretary speaks regularly with his Iranian counterpart Foreign Minister Zarif. He and his officials, including those in the British Embassy in Tehran, engage with Iran on a wide range of issues, including our nuclear concerns, our consular cases, human rights and Iran's role in the region. We call on President-elect Raisi to set Iran on a different course and expect to engage him on the full range of issues when he takes office.
