Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Joint statement on the Middle East, published on 12 August 2024, if he will publish a list of the allies of Iran.
Iran continues to proliferate advanced weaponry, alongside providing financial and political support to its proxies and partners including Lebanese Hizballah, Hamas, the Houthis and other groups in Iraq and Syria. Since 7 October, these groups have conducted hundreds of attacks on Israel, Counter-Daesh Coalition forces and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
Furthermore, Iran's recent transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia, is a significant escalation of Iran's military support to Russia. It will prolong the war, and cause greater suffering to the Ukrainian people.
