The release of Nazanin, Anoosheh and Morad is the result of the efforts and dedication of many people both in the FCDO and across government.
I pay tribute to my predecessors and the PM, who have all worked hard to resolve this issue, and to our brilliant diplomats and officials

We will continue to work to secure Morad's departure from Iran.

The UK is leading the way with our historic round of sanctions - further isolating Putin’s enablers for their illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

Putin must fail in Ukraine

Welcome news from @yairlapid that Israel will support sanctions against Russia.🇮🇱

UK stands by Australia and the Netherlands in calling on the Russian government to accept responsibility for the tragedy of MH17.
We must deliver justice for the families of the victims. This is just another example of the Kremlin’s barbaric actions against innocent civilians.

Today we celebrate #CommonwealthDay, and together we will build a better, more secure future.

The invasion of Ukraine is a paradigm shift on a level not seen since 9/11. The West has woken up and must ensure the global security architecture is fit for this new era.

This is the latest in a pattern of lies and disinformation by the Russian state.
The Kremlin is waging a disinformation campaign to attempt to justify the unjustifiable. The UK and our partners will continue to call out these lies. Nobody is fooled. twitter.com/UKUN_NewYork/s…

Our unbreakable alliance with the United States is at the heart of European security 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Together we are tightening the vice on Putin's regime and doing all we can to support the people of Ukraine.

Today I have sanctioned 386 members of Russia's State Duma for supporting Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine.
We mean what we say. With our allies and partners, we will cripple the Russian economy and cut off Putin’s war machine. gov.uk/government/new…
