question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s announcement on 19 June that for the first time Iran is not cooperating with its inspectors at two nuclear sites, what new political initiatives they are undertaking within the E3 to ensure that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action does not collapse.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2020 answer text <p>On 25 June, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)'s Board of Governors adopted a resolution tabled by the E3 in response to Iran's denial of IAEA access to two sites, and its failure to engage in substantive discussions with the IAEA on questions relating to possible undeclared material and activities. In denying access, Iran is not adhering to its legally binding safeguards obligations and the IAEA cannot verify the completeness and correctness of Iran's nuclear accountancy. The resolution reinforced the mandate of the IAEA Director General to continue his investigation, and sent a clear message to Iran that it should cooperate fully with the IAEA.</p><p>The Foreign Secretary made clear in his E3 statement on 19 June that we remain committed to ensuring that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon. Iran's reductions in nuclear compliance raise serious proliferation concerns, which is why the UK, with France and Germany, triggered the JCPoA's Dispute Resolution Mechanism (DRM) on 14 January 2020. We are clear that we want to use the DRM to resolve these concerns, and bring Iran back into full compliance with the JCPoA. The UK continues to work closely with all JCPoA parties, including Iran, to find a diplomatic way forward.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/07/2020 14:56:41 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress the Foreign Secretary made during his discussions with European partners in Helsinki at the informal meeting of Ministers for Foreign Affairs (Gymnich) on 29 to 30 August on how to preserve the Iran nuclear deal and to protect international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/09/2019 16:23:49 question first ministerially corrected 01/10/2019 10:46:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon previous answer version 133942 answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
