There has been no request from the US to deploy new missiles to Europe. As NATO made clear in a recent statement on the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, NATO continues to review closely the security implications of Russian intermediate-range missiles and will continue to take steps necessary to ensure the credibility and effectiveness of the Alliance's overall deterrence and defence posture. Allies will continue to consult each other regularly with a view to ensuring our collective security.

Since military operations began, the Global Coalition and its partners in Syria and Iraq have recaptured almost all the territory once held by Daesh, and important advances have been made in recent weeks in the last area of eastern Syria to be occupied by Daesh.
As the United States has made clear, their announcement does not signal the end of the Coalition or its campaign. Much remains to be done and Daesh will remain a threat even without territory. The UK remains committed to the Coalition and its objective of ensuring Daesh's enduring defeat. We are discussing with the US the implications of their announcement and seeking clarity on their further plans.

The Government regrets the US decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on Iran.

Following the re-imposition of US sanctions in November 2018 it is too early to make an assessment of the effect on public health outcomes in Iran.

Payments for medical supplies are not subject to US sanctions.

However, this Government encourages legitimate trade with Iran and continues to engage US and European counterparts to help facilitate this.

We have raised with the US the need to make allowance for continued economic ties between Europe and Iran – including legitimate UK business - to ensure we can meet our obligations under the deal. The UK remains party to the JCPoA and UN/EU sanctions on Iran continue to be lifted to allow UK businesses to operate in Iran.
