Iran: Nuclear Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of how close Iran is to making nuclear weapons; and what discussions he has had with his NATO counterparts on this.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Government is carefully monitoring the current situation in Iran, and continues to work closely with our allies. The Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) published its report on national security issues relating to Iran on 10 July 2025 which includes information on Iran’s Nuclear programme https://isc.independent.gov.uk/publications/. As is usual, the Government will also provide a full response to the ISC's report in due course.
