answer text <p>The unjustified decision of 10 May 2023 by Nicaragua's National Assembly to rescind the legal status of the Nicaraguan Red Cross Association and confiscate its assets is deeply regrettable. This closure is part of a wider set of actions by the Nicaraguan authorities directed against non-profit organisations and charitable institutions, through which more than 3,000 institutions have been closed since 2018. In a statement released on 19 April 2023, the UK underlined its deep concern at these closures and at the wider political situation in Nicaragua, which is shared by the international community.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK Government regularly assesses Iran's political, financial and military support to several militant and proscribed groups, including Hezbollah. Such activity compromises the region's security and Iran must bear responsibility for the actions of the groups it has long supported. We currently sanction more than 350 Iranian individuals and entities, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in its entirety. As the former Foreign Secretary announced, a new sanctions regime will be in place by the end of the year, giving greater powers to make designations for destabilising Iranian activity in the region.</p> more like this
