uin	HL3289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>On 7 November 2014, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General issued his latest report on the status of Iran’s nuclear programme. We are grateful to the IAEA for continuing to verify the nuclear elements of the Joint Plan of Action (JPoA), and the confirmation that Iran continues to implement the JPoA. However, we remain extremely disappointed by the lack of genuine cooperation from Iran on ‘Possible Military Dimensions’ (PMD) to its nuclear programme as reported by the Director General, and continue to offer our full support to the IAEA in pursuing the possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme. Iran continues to refuse access to certain sites to which the IAEA has requested access under PMD. However, we are not aware of reports that Iran is denying the IAEA access to nuclear plants. <br> <br>A comprehensive agreement remains the most effective way to ensure that Iran’s nuclear programme is purely peaceful, and all nuclear measures under such an agreement will need to be robustly verified by the IAEA.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 10/12/2014 14:27:38 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p>The UK remains concerned over restrictions on freedom of religion in Iran. We were deeply concerned to learn of the destruction of a Baha’i cemetery in Shiraz, where approximately 950 Baha’is are buried. We continue to call for Iran to abide by its international commitments to ensure all Iranians are free to practice their religion without fear of persecution.
