Conclusion
Prior to the joint US and Israeli attack, the Iranian regime presented a clear and persistent threat to those opposing its world view. This has manifested in support for armed groups and terrorist organisations, and the transnational repression of critics. We support the Government’s action in specifying Iran under the enhanced tier of the National Security Act 2023 Foreign Influence Registration Scheme. (Conclusion, Paragraph 45)
Government Response Summary
The government's response focuses on its ongoing commitment to support Ukraine against Russian information operations and disinformation through the UK-Ukraine 100 Year Partnership, and does not address the Committee's support for the specification of Iran under the National Security Act.

HM Government Not Addressed
12. We are committed to continuing to support Ukraine to counter Russian information operations and disinformation, including developing improved capabilities to respond to information manipulation. The UK’s operational activity aimed at disrupting Russian FIMI networks and reducing their ability to generate and disseminate malign narratives at source forms a key part of this effort. 13. We have a strategic partnership with Ukraine through the UK-Ukraine 100 Year Partnership. In November, the first UK-Ukraine dialogue on FIMI took place to assess progress against our committed support and to explore opportunities for deeper co-operation. The Government will update the House as these dialogues continue. 14. All future discussions between the UK and Ukraine will be rightly guided by the commitments made in the 100 Year Partnership, part of the focus of which is UK programmatic support to strengthen Ukraine’s ability to identify and disrupt hostile information operations. 15. The Government is committed to working with Ukraine to ensure that the 100 Year Partnership Agreement maintains its relevance in relation to discussions on security assurances, any potential ceasefire and any other issues relevant to Ukraine’s future.
