question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Belgian counterpart on the potential role of (a) an Iranian diplomat and (b) Iranian authorities in an alleged plot to target the National Council of Resistance of Iran annual rally in June 2018.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2020 answer text <p>We are aware of the trial of four Iranians in Belgium in relation to the 2018 plot against a conference in Paris. We are deeply concerned by reports that an Iranian diplomat is one of those standing trial in connection with the incident. While the legal process is ongoing, however, it would be inappropriate to comment further and we have not made specific representations to the Iranian Government. The UK strongly condemns the targeting of civilians and welcomes steps taken to hold those responsible to account. We continue to work closely with our European partners on security and counter-terrorism issues. The Foreign Secretary has not had any recent conversations with his Belgian counterpart in relation to this trial. We are not aware at this stage of a link to the UK.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 27/11/2020 14:19:34 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2020 answer text <p>We are aware of media reports that an Iranian diplomat, who is charged with involvement in a plot against a conference in Paris in 2018, has threatened &quot;retaliation&quot; should he be convicted. The UK Government does not have access to the court documents on which these reports are based.
