<p>We note the US and Israel adopted the Jerusalem Strategic Partnership Joint Declaration
in July 2022. The UK's long-standing objective is that Iran must never be allowed
to acquire a nuclear weapon. Iran has been in non-compliance with its nuclear commitments
under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) since 2019 and its nuclear programme
has never been more advanced than it is today. Iran's escalation of its nuclear activities
is threatening regional and international peace and security and undermining the global
non-proliferation system.</p><p>There has been a viable deal on the table since March
which would return Iran to compliance with its JCPoA commitments, and return the US
to the deal. The deal would reverse Iran's nuclear escalation, return Iran's nuclear
programme to strict JCPoA limits and restore extensive monitoring by the International
Atomic Energy Agency. If Iran fails to conclude the deal its nuclear escalation will
cause the collapse of the JCPoA. In this scenario we would carefully consider all
options in partnership with our allies.</p>
