(Con): My Lords, I congratulate the organisers of the
summit, including the police and other authorities, in ensuring not
only its success but its safety.
The Foreign Secretary said yesterday in relation to the JCPOA that Iran must
return to full compliance—and it is not just the stockpile of
enriched uranium, which is 16 times the permitted limit, but the
operation of centrifuges and production of uranium metal that is of
deep concern. The opening paragraph of the statement says that the
aim of the G7 summit
“was to demonstrate how the world’s democracies are ready and able
to address the world’s toughest problems, offering solutions and
backing them up with concrete action”.—[Official Report, Commons,
16/6/21; col. 283.]
What are the solutions and concrete actions in relation to
Iran?
(Con): The G7 leaders reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring that
Iran will never develop a nuclear weapon, and they
welcome the substantive discussions between the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action participants and separately
with the United States to accomplish a return of the United States
and Iran to their commitments. The leaders agreed
that a restored and fully implemented plan of action could also
pave the way to further address wider regional and security
concerns, and condemned Iran’s support for proxy
forces and non-state armed actors, including through financing
training and the proliferation of missile technology and
weapons.
