Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of recent reports of increasing Iranian support for the Polisario Front; and what steps they are taking with allies to address the risks posed by Iranian influence in the Western Sahara conflict.

The UK has not seen requisite evidence regarding the allegation of Iranian support to the Polisario Front. However, we continue to monitor Iranian activity in the region.

The UK has long condemned the destabilising activity of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its regional partners and proxies. We will continue to work with partners to tackle Iran's destabilising activity.
