<p><del class="ministerial">It has not proved possible to respond to this question
in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with
the Member.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">The Foreign Secretary reaffirmed
with our European partners our common commitment to preserving the Iran nuclear deal
(JCPoA) as the best way of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. We are deeply concerned
by Iran's steps to reduce compliance with the JCPoA, including its recent announcement
on suspending limits on nuclear research and development, and urge Iran to uphold
the agreement in full. This third step away from its commitments under the nuclear
deal is particularly disappointing at a time when we – and our European and international
partners – are working hard to de-escalate tensions with Iran, which includes our
coordinated action to protect international shipping and ensure freedom of navigation
in the Strait of Hormuz.</ins></p>
