Statement of the European Troika in the Council of Governors: Iran must immediately dilute its stockpile of enriched uranium

We are ready to use all available diplomatic levers to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. 

Statement by England, France and Germany: Three European countries England, France and Germany 

Iran's compensatory steps in the JCPOA are the source of safeguards differences between the Agency and Tehran. 

Iran continues to obstruct the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has had detrimental consequences for the Agency's ability to effectively verify and monitor Iran's nuclear program and provide assurances about its peaceful nature. 

Iran's move to halt the increase in its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium is long overdue. Enrichment at this level is not only a flagrant violation of Iran's obligations under the JCPOA, but, as the Director-General again stated in his report, Iran is the only country to do so without possessing nuclear weapons. 

We have to be aware that even if Iran takes such a step, it still has a very large stockpile of highly enriched uranium and the ability to resume enrichment up to 60 percent at any point. 

We demand that Iran not only halt high-level enrichment, but also immediately dilute its stockpile of enriched uranium. 

Iran's choices and decisions about its nuclear activities are the cause of the long-standing nuclear proliferation crisis. 

It is Iran that has exacerbated the situation by further withdrawing from JCPOA commitments. 

Requested: 

Iran's full adherence to the nuclear restrictions in this agreement, 
Resuming Iran's voluntary commitments in the JCPOA, 
We are implementing and approving the Additional Protocol and reviving the agency's inspectors' license. 

We are committed to a diplomatic solution and are prepared to use all available diplomatic levers to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
