answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2020 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary made clear in his statement with France and Germany on 19 June that Iran's reductions in compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) raise serious proliferation concerns. The UK, with France and Germany, triggered the JCPoA's Dispute Resolution Mechanism (DRM) on 14 January to try to resolve these concerns. Iran must engage constructively with that DRM process and implement its commitments under the deal. We remain committed to working with all JCPoA parties, including Iran, to find a diplomatic way forward.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 24/07/2020 14:16:17 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for the Iran nuclear deal of (a) ballistic missile tests carried out by Iran since July 2015 and (b) reports that Iran has provided support for the advancement of North Korea's development of nuclear weapons.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2017 answer text <p>We are committed to the full implementation of the Iran nuclear deal – the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – by all parties. Iran is in compliance with its nuclear-related commitments, as confirmed by the 31 August report of the International Atomic Energy Agency. UN Security Council Resolution 2231 calls upon Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Since July 2015, Iran has carried out a number of ballistic missile tests and has launched a space launch vehicle using such technology. This activity is not a breach of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. But it is inconsistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and we have written to the UN Secretary General with France, Germany and the US to express our concern. We call upon Iran to refrain from such activity.</p><p>We condemn North Korea's illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. We are monitoring its programme developments, as the Foreign Secretary alluded to during his remarks to Parliament on 5 September. The assessment of any links between Iran and North Korea is sensitive information. It is the long-standing policy of the Government not to comment on matters relating to intelligence or national security.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/10/2017 15:32:51 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2015 answer text <p>If a party to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) thinks there has been a violation of the JCPoA they should notify the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission will discuss these concerns with a view to resolving them within 15 days. If the Joint Commission cannot resolve the matter, it will be considered by an Advisory Panel made up of the complainant, defendant and an independent party, and may also be considered in parallel by Foreign Ministers. If the concern still cannot be resolved and the complainant believes that the violation constitutes significant non-performance of JCPoA commitments then the matter will be escalated to the UN Security Council, which will vote on a resolution to continue the lifting of sanctions. If the Security Council does not adopt this resolution within 30 days, nuclear-related UN sanctions will automatically ‘snapback’. In addition to UN sanctions, the US and the EU can re-impose sanctions if Iran is in breach of its commitments.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 11/09/2015 13:14:07 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, with reference to the statement of the President of the US of 7 April 2015 on negotiations with Iran, what assessment he has made of the implication for his policy of Iran's breakout period shrinking to almost zero after the first decade of a possible nuclear deal.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>Under the terms of the agreement – in addition to the restrictions on Iran’s enrichment capacity – Iran will be limited to a maximum stockpile of 300kg of uranium enriched to up to 3.67% for 15 years. Iran's breakout period will be over 12 months for 10 years, and is not expected to fall to zero afterwards. The agreement will also lead to significantly increased transparency, in particular through implementation of the Additional Protocol and Modified Code 3.1. This will increase the IAEA’s ability to identify a breakout attempt; and significantly increase the time that the international community has to respond in such a scenario.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/07/2015 15:06:19 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>We are working towards a comprehensive agreement with Iran to achieve a breakout timeline of at least one year and ensure that Iran's nuclear programm eis exclusively peaceful. Iran’s use of IR-1 centrifuges is central to its enrichment and, consequently, breakout capability. As agreed in Lausanne on 2 April, Iran’s enrichment capacity will be limited as part of a comprehensive nuclear deal.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 14/07/2015 13:16:16 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
