Iran's nuclear programme is more advanced than it has ever been. We are in the end game of negotiations to restore the JCPoA and reverse Iran's nuclear escalation. A conclusion is needed in the coming days. In a call on 15 February, and in person in Munich on 18 February, the Foreign Secretary discussed with her French, German and US counterparts the urgency of concluding this deal and returning Iran to full compliance with its nuclear commitments under the JCPoA. The Foreign Secretary also discussed this with Secretary Blinken on 12 February and with Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian on 14 February.
