Iran: Nuclear Power

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what was the outcome of the recent meeting of E3 diplomats with Iran in Oslo; and what assessment they have made of that outcome.

Answer

E3 (France, Germany and the UK) Political Directors met Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, in Oslo on 16/17 March. The discussion covered the range of our concerns about Iran's behaviour, including its continued nuclear escalation. We have made clear to Iran that its actions over the past months have made progress towards a diplomatic solution on the nuclear issue much more difficult. This was not a negotiation on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
