Thanks very much for the question.

Obviously we have great concerns about Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, and indeed, Iran's behaviour throughout the region—in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and in Gaza—is a serious concern for this conflict and for the broader regional peace and security.

We are quite concerned about external support that Hamas, in particular, receives as it continues to fuel this conflict.
