Women continue to suffer discrimination in Iranian law, and we are concerned by two Bills in the process of being adopted in the Iranian Parliament, which, if passed, would curb women and girls\u2019 sexual and reproductive rights.

Iran's oil revenues have been drastically constrained by sanctions.

Several of Iran's nuclear activities are in breach of UN Security Council Resolutions 1929 and 1835 but they are consistent with Iran's obligations under the November 2013 Geneva Interim agreement between the E3+3 and Iran. The E3+3 are currently trying to reach a comprehensive agreement with Iran, under which Iran would have a nuclear programme with agreed limits.<\/p>
