Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether a renewed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action would require Iran to provide a full historical accounting of its previous violations of the nuclear programme.

This question was answered on 21st March 2022
Iran has been out of compliance with its Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) commitments since 2019. Iran has since February 2021, restricted access to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who are responsible for monitoring Iran's implementation of the nuclear deal.

The deal on the table in Vienna talks would return Iran to full compliance with its JCPoA commitments, it would reverse Iran's nuclear escalation, return its nuclear programme to strict JCPoA limits and restore extensive monitoring by the IAEA. A rapid conclusion of this deal is critical for international security and non-proliferation.
