<p>We have consistently made clear our concerns to Iran about its ballistic missile
programme and the supply of weapons to neighbouring countries. We continue to raise
our concerns under United National Security Council Resolutions 2231 and 2216, alongside
our French, German, and US colleagues, and work with the relevant UN bodies to support
the implementation of these resolutions. The UK Government condemned the Houthi missile
attacks on Riyadh on 4 November and 19 December which deliberately targeted a civilian
areas. The supply of ballistic missiles to the Houthis threatens regional security
and prolonging the conflict. It is essential that the UN investigates this. In his
visit to Iran on 9-10 December, the Foreign Secretary pressed his Iranian counterparts
to use their influence to ensure that these indiscriminate and dangerous attacks come
to an end.</p>
