You will already be aware of recent events, and the rapidly developing nature of the conflict between Iran and the United States of America, and their allies.

As this remains a constantly changing picture and given the volume of unverified information circulating on social media, please rely only on official, credible sources, such as the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), for updates and guidance.

If you have been affected by these recent events, support is available. Find out more on the intranet:
