Iran: Nuclear Power
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will use the snapback provision to reimpose sanctions on Iran in the context of the recent trend of breaches of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action by Iran.
- Answer
-
Iran has been in non-compliance with its Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) commitments since 2019 and its nuclear programme is more advanced today than it has ever been before. We urge Iran to halt all activities in violation of the JCPoA without delay and take the opportunity in front of them in the JCPoA Vienna negotiations to restore the nuclear deal. If a deal is not swiftly concluded, and Iran continues its nuclear escalation, Iran will be responsible for missing the opportunity to restore the JCPoA and for bringing about the collapse of the deal.
In the event of the JCPoA collapsing, we would carefully consider all options in partnership with our allies, including sanctions.
