In July 2015, Iran and a six-country negotiating group reached a special agreement called the Joint Integrated Action Plan that ended a 12-year closure over Tehran’s nuclear program. The agreement, which was struck in Vienna after nearly two years of intense negotiations, restricted Iran’s program, to reassure the rest of the world that it cannot develop nuclear weapons, as a relief for control -bannan.
At the heart of the work, the JCPOA is a straightforward bargain: how Iran is embracing tight limits on its nuclear program as a result of escaping the growing sanctions surrounding its economy over ten years before the agreement. Under the treaty, Iran exported two-thirds of its centrifuges, extracted 98% of its rich uranium and filled its plutonium-producing reactor with concrete. Tehran also accepted an extensive review by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has confirmed 10 times since the agreement, and as of February, that Tehran has complied with its terms. As a reward, all nuclear-related sanctions were lifted in January 2016, reconnecting Iran to global markets.
The six main powers involved in the nuclear talks with Iran were in a group called the P5 + 1: five permanent members of the UN security council – China, France, Russia, the UK and the US – and ‘Germany. The nuclear deal is also enshrined in a resolution of the UN Security Council that enshrined it in international law. The agreement was unanimously approved by the 15 members of the council at the time.
On May 8, 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew his country from the treaty. Iran announced its withdrawal from the nuclear deal a year later. Trump fan Joe Biden has said the U.S. could return to the deal if Iran fulfills its obligations.
