A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said:

18 October 2023 marks 鈥楾ransition Day鈥� under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), when certain restrictions on Iran鈥檚 nuclear and missile programmes are due to lift, including: 84 UN and 112 UK designations on individuals and entities involved in nuclear or ballistic missile activities; and sectoral measures including arms and missile embargoes on Iran.

In response to Iran鈥檚 serious and escalating non-compliance with the JCPoA since 2019, the UK, alongside the EU, is maintaining the autonomous designations and sectoral measures, and has transferred the UN designations into our autonomous sanctions regime. 皇冠体育app UK will therefore continue to apply these sanctions on Iran. 皇冠体育app UK, France, and Germany (E3) jointly notified the JCPoA Coordinator of this decision on 14 September 2023.

This step is a proportionate and legitimate response to Iran鈥檚 nuclear escalation and is fully compliant with the JCPoA. 皇冠体育app extent of Iran鈥檚 nuclear advances has no credible civilian justification. 皇冠体育app programme poses a grave threat to international peace and security and undermines the global non-proliferation system.

皇冠体育app UK has also joined other states as part of the Proliferation Security Initiative today in calling Iran out for providing missile and drone technology to its partners and proxies, which endangers international stability and escalates regional tension. We and our partners remain committed to tackling Iran鈥檚 missile threat.
