A Downing Street spokesperson said:
“The Prime Minister held a telephone call with the Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani this afternoon.
“The Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s position that we and our
European partners remain firmly committed to ensuring the Iran
nuclear deal is upheld. She said it is in both the UK and Iran’s
national security interests to maintain the deal and welcomed
President Rouhani’s public commitment to abide by its terms,
adding that it is essential that Iran continues to meet its
obligations.
“The Prime Minister made clear that the UK condemns the Iranian
missile attacks against Israeli forces and called on Iran to
refrain from any further attacks. She said it was important to
avoid provocative actions to ensure peace and security in the
region.
“The Prime Minister also raised the issue of consular cases
relating to dual nationals currently held on charges in Iran and
called for further progress to be made so individuals could be
released on humanitarian grounds.
“Both leaders agreed the importance of continued dialogue between
the two countries, and looked forward to the meeting of UK,
German, French and Iranian foreign ministers in Brussels on
Tuesday where they will be joined by the EU’s foreign affairs
High Representative to discuss the Iran
nuclear deal and next steps.”
