Iran: Sanctions

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with his international counterparts on the effectiveness of the Iranian sanctions programme; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

I have discussed Iran with many of my counterparts, including on the importance of using sanctions to get Iran to engage with the EU 3+3 on its nuclear programme. In particular, I have pressed those whose countries have not imposed sanctions as tough as those adopted by the EU to move in that direction.
