The UK government has reaffirmed its commitment to imposing sanctions on Iran to address threats to national security and global stability. Chancellor John Healey stated that over 240 sanctions have been imposed since the government took office, targeting Iran’s nuclear program and destabilizing activities. The UK will continue collaborating with the US and international partners to apply economic pressure, prevent exploitation of global financial systems, and counter Iran’s regional aggression. The government supports US efforts to secure diplomatic solutions and welcomes initiatives like Operation Economic Outcast. It calls on Iran to halt destabilizing actions, including in the Strait of Hormuz, and engage in good-faith diplomatic discussions. Measures aim to protect UK interests and ensure compliance with international obligations.
