	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has monthly access to the reactor at Arak. The IAEA Director General’s 29 May Iran report confirms that Iran continues to abide by its commitments under the Joint Plan of Action. Access for the IAEA to Parchin remains an important but unfulfilled step. The Director General’s report reiterates that clean-up activities at the site are likely to have undermined the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification, however it is imperative that Iran provides swift access as the Agency continues to request. We fully support their work on this crucial issue.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/06/2015 13:46:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

Iran’s support includes financial assistance, the provision of military equipment and training, and directly undermines prospects for peace in the region.
