answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2015 answer text We continue to have serious concerns about Iran's support for the military wing of Hizballah, which is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK and in the EU. This support includes the provision of significant financial resources, military equipment and training, in contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 1747, which prohibits the export of weapons by Iran. We call on Iran to implement its obligations under this Resolution and to end its military support to Hizballah, which undermines regional security. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/06/2015 12:53:20 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2015 answer text <p>Iranian support for Hamas reportedly continues, although at a lower level since Hamas decided not to support the Syrian regime. This support includes the provision of financial resources and training as well as the supply of military equipment, in contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 1747, which prohibits the export of weapons by Iran. This military support for Hamas directly undermines prospects for lasting peace in the region.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/06/2015 12:59:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
