Iran: Sanctions

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on the enforcement of sanctions against Iran.
Answer

On 23 May, the EU strengthened its sanctions against Iran by adding over one hundred more entities to its regulation. Until Iran recognises the need to engage meaningfully about the nature of its nuclear programme, we will continue to add further measures to increase pressure on Iran, including in partnership with the EU and others. We continue to work with all EU partners to ensure these measures are enforced.
