<p>We have repeatedly set out concerns about Iranian destabilising behaviour in the
region, including its political, financial and military support to the Houthis in
Yemen. This support poses a real threat to regional stability and security, and we
are committed to working with partners, including the UN, to address these concerns.
The supply of weapons to the Houthis is prohibited under a number of UN Security Council
Resolutions, including UNSCR 2216. Although the UN conventional arms embargo on Iran,
under UNSCR 2231, is due to expire in October, UN sanctions targeting the supply of
weapons to the Houthis will endure under other Resolutions. The EU arms embargo and
UN ballistic missile restrictions on Iran will also remain in place until 2023. The
UK encourages all states to implement national export control best practice in support
of these regimes.</p>
