This matter is being handled by International Military Services Limited (IMS). Negotiations are commerically sensitive and a confidentital matter between IMS and the Iranians.

The UK Government does not dispute the outcome of court hearings on this matter, but the current EU sanctions against the Iranian Ministry of Defence remain in force.
