<p>The UK remains committed to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), as
the best means of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. We have worked
hard with our partners to preserve the deal and believe that it remains in our national
security interests. We, along with France and Germany, have met our obligations under
the deal, including by lifting sanctions on Iran, and have gone beyond our JCPoA commitments
by establishing INSTEX to help support legitimate trade. Iran's reductions in nuclear
compliance, as confirmed by successive International Atomic Engergy Angency reports,
have raised serious proliferation concerns, leaving the E3 with no choice but to trigger
the JCPoA Dispute Resolution Mechanism (DRM) on 14 January 2020, formally referring
Iran to the Joint Commission. We are clear that we want to use the DRM to resolve
these concerns, and bring Iran back into compliance with the JCPoA. The UK continues
to work closely with all JCPoA parties, including Iran, to find a diplomatic way forward.</p>
