Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards corps' (1) support for terrorism and involvement in terrorist attacks in the region and around the world, and (2) role in domestic arrests of human rights activists and arrests of dual citizens.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and associated entities including the IRGC Qods Force are known to be involved in multiple regional conflicts, including operating through proxies. The Government is clear that Iran should cease disruptive involvement in regional conflicts, and should instead look to play a constructive role in regional stability. Within Iran, we have serious concerns about the risk to British/Iranian dual nationals of arbitrary detention. For this reason our travel advice highlights the risks of travel and provides further information for dual nationals. We will continue to maintain dialogue on Iran's regional policies, human rights and particularly our dual national detainees with the Iranian Government. Positive progress in all of these areas is important to the UK.
