Iran has been in non-compliance with its Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) commitments since 2019 and continues to escalate its nuclear programme. Its nuclear programme is now more advanced than ever before. Iran's production of Highly Enriched Uranium and use of powerful advanced centrifuges continue to decrease breakout time. We strongly urge Iran to halt all activities in violation of the JCPoA, without delay and take the opportunity in front of them to restore the JCPoA through the Vienna talks.
