PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
JOINT PARLIAMENTARIANS' INITIATIVE ON THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL (27 March 2018)

Motion Details

That this House notes with concern the possibility that the US Administration could move towards abandoning the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA); believes that this would undermine what has been achieved in controlling Iran's nuclear programme and damage both the UK's credibility as an international partner in negotiation and the pursuit of diplomacy as a means of promoting peace and ensuring security; asserts that weakening the deal would make it more difficult to keep Iran nuclear-free after the expiry of the special provisions of the JCPOA; and therefore expresses support for the joint initiative from French and German Members of Parliament to urge members of the US Congress to stand by the Iran Nuclear Deal.
