UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly warned Saturday that the threat from Iran’s nuclear program is «more advanced than ever.»
Speaking at an international security conference in Bahrain, Cleverly accused the Tehran regime of spreading «bloodshed and destruction» around the world.
The minister warned that Iranian-supplied weapons are threatening security in the region and beyond, and particularly denounced Iranian-made drones used by Russia to attack civilian infrastructure in Ukraine as an example of its influence.
«Weapons provided by Iran threaten the entire region,» he has made known at the Manama Dialogue Forum. «Today, Iran’s nuclear program is more advanced than ever, and the regime has resorted to selling Russia the armed drones that are killing civilians in Ukraine.
«While its people are demonstrating against decades of oppression, Iran’s rulers are spreading bloodshed and destruction as far away as Kiev,» he has lamented.
«The UK is determined to work alongside our allies to counter the Iranian threat, prohibit the smuggling of conventional weapons and prevent the regime from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability,» the minister reiterated.
