<p>We believe the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) remains the best way
of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran and we are determined to see it maintained for
as long as Iran complies with it. The deal is a critical agreement that makes the
world a safer place and it is working; Iran remains constrained by the strict nuclear
limits in the deal and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) retains unprecedented
access to monitor and verify Iran's activities. IAEA reports continue to confirm that
Iran is adhering to the nuclear limits in the JCPoA.</p><p>As set out in my Written
Ministerial Statement to Parliament on Monday 5 November, we have been clear with
the US about our determination to preserve the JCPoA, and the fact that this is driven
by our national security interests. The UK is working with France and Germany on a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to enable continued sanctions relief to reach Iran,
and to allow for European exporters and importers to trade in compliance with EU and
UN sanctions.</p><p>In parallel to our work with partners to maintain the JCPoA, we
continue to take steps with our partners against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
destabilising behaviour across the region and to hold Iran to account on human rights,
including its treatment of British-Iranians detained in Iran.</p>
