Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the development of nuclear weapons and the installation of more advanced centrifuges by Iran, and what steps they are taking in response.

Iran's nuclear escalation, including its recent expansion of uranium enrichment capacity, threatens international peace and security and undermines global non-proliferation. Iran must never develop a nuclear weapon. The United Nations Security Council met to discuss this issue on 12 March. The UK reiterated that we are willing to use all diplomatic options available to ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon, including triggering UN snapback, if necessary.
