Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what information they have, if any, on who is responsible for the killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh on 27 November 2020.

The circumstances of Fakhrizadeh's death remain unclear and we will not speculate when we do not have the full facts. To date no State or non-State actors have claimed responsibility, but the UK repeatedly and consistently condemns extrajudicial killings wherever these take place. We are concerned about the situation in Iran and the wider region. We continue to urge all sides to show restraint and avoid any actions which might escalate tensions in the region.
