Iran's Fattah missile: FCDO statement

FCDO statement on Iran's reveal of its new ballistic missile, the Fattah, which was unveiled today.

6 June 2023

An FCDO spokesperson said:

"Iran has announced the development of a new ballistic missile, despite repeated calls from the UN Security Council to halt its programme. This, only weeks after Iran claimed to have successfully test-launched a ballistic missile of similar capability, further proves its continued disregard of international restrictions and the grave threat posed by the regime to global security.

"Alongside partners, the UK remains committed to taking every diplomatic step to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and to hold the regime to account for its malign activity around the world."
