This support undermines the prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East. We have raised our concerns about such activity with the Iranian authorities on many occasions, and will continue to do so. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/07/2015 12:58:38 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text We remain deeply concerned by Iran’s links to designated terrorist groups such as the military wings of Hizballah and Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Iran’s support includes financial assistance, the provision of military equipment and training, and directly undermines prospects for peace in the region. We call on Iran to implement its obligations under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1747, which inter alia bans the export of military equipment by Iran. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/07/2015 13:00:34 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
