Iran: Nuclear Power
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department plans to use the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action snapback mechanism to re-impose nuclear-related UN sanctions on Iran before their expiry in October 2025.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
A diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear issue remains possible and the primary focus of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office efforts. However, if a deal is not reached there will be little choice for the E3 but to trigger the UN snapback mechanism before its expiry. Alongside E3 partners we have made this clear to Iran.
