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.
