Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions the Foreign Secretary has had with the Iranian Ambassador since 28 April regarding Iranian linked proxy violence in the United Kingdom; and what assessment they have made of the impact of such activity on social cohesion and threats to the UK's Iranian and Jewish communities.

HMG regularly makes clear to Iran that the threats it poses to UK‑based citizens are unacceptable and must cease immediately. The Foreign Secretary raised this issue directly with her Iranian counterpart, FM Araghchi, on 8 May.

The police and security services continue to work tirelessly to protect Iranian dissidents, journalists and Jewish communities from the threat posed by Iran. It is vital that we also step up our support to protect social cohesion. On 30 April, the Government announced a further £25 million of immediate funding in 2026/27 to strengthen policing, protect Jewish communities and provide reassurance in response to the terrorist attack in Golders Green and recent spate of antisemitic attacks. In addition, £40 million is available for the Protective Security for Mosques Scheme, and £5 million is available to protect all other faiths groups through the Places of Worship Protective Security Scheme.
