In a joint statement, the spokespersons for the High Representative of the European Union, France, Germany and the United Kingdom said:

France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the High Representative express their deep concern over Iran鈥檚 announcements and actions in contradiction with its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA). 皇冠体育app IAEA has confirmed in its extraordinary report of 8 September that advanced centrifuges have been installed or are being installed in Natanz. France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the High Representative are deeply concerned by these activities.

皇冠体育appy are concerned by the risk that the JCPoA further unravels under the strain of sanctions imposed by the United States since May 2018 and following Iran鈥檚 decisions to no longer implement several of the central provisions of the agreement.

皇冠体育appy believe the latest developments underline the need for diplomatic efforts towards de-escalation and resumption of dialogue, which we fully support.

皇冠体育appy continue to support the JCPoA and strongly urge Iran to reverse all activities that are inconsistent with its commitments under the JCPoA and to refrain from any further steps. 皇冠体育appy call on Iran to co-operate with the IAEA on all relevant matters, including safeguards issues.

皇冠体育appy reiterate our support for the work of the IAEA and recall our confidence in the impartial and independent way in which it monitors and verifies Iran鈥檚 nuclear commitments.
