Cleverly added that in exchange for the aid, Russia is supplying Iran with "sophisticated military technology, financial support, and advice that the regime can use to threaten our partners in the Middle East and suppress protests".

"The UK and our partners have already imposed sanctions on many of those responsible for this deadly arms trade and will continue to hold this desperate alliance to account," he emphasized.
