Written Question
Iran: Nuclear Fuels
Wednesday 10th July 2019

Asked by: Mary Robinson (Conservative - Cheadle)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what plans he has to coordinate with his P5+1 partners a response to reports Iran has exceeded its permitted stockpile of low-enriched uranium.

Answered by Andrew Murrison

We are extremely concerned about Iran’s announcement. We will continue working with our Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) partners – in particular with Germany and France – to keep the nuclear deal in place. We have been consistently clear with Iran that our commitment to the JCPoA depends on full Iranian compliance. We urge Iran to reverse the steps it has taken. We believe maintaining the nuclear deal is in the best interests of Iran, the region and the UK.
