<p>We have long been clear about our concerns over Iran's continued destabilising
activity throughout the region. As part of this, we have significant and longstanding
concerns, alongside our international partners, over Iran's ballistic missile programme,
which poses a further threat to regional security. Reports that Iran has carried out
a satellite launch - using ballistic missile technology - are of significant concern
and inconsistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which calls on Iran not
to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of
delivering a nuclear weapon. Iran must abide by this.</p><p>We remain concerned about
the activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the revelation it has
developed an independent military space launch capability, and call on Iran urgently
to cease all forms of destabilising activity. We regularly examine options and activity
to address these issues and call on Iran to fully comply with UNSCRs 2231, 1540, 2216
and 1701.</p>
