History

Historical Context

In 2013 Iran elected centrist President Hassan Rouhani, who reopened talks that led P5+1 and Iran to sign the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on 14 July 2015. The deal capped enrichment at 3.67 % and allowed only about 5,060 IR-1 centrifuges to operate, while suspending many sanctions. This framework underpins today’s diplomatic efforts to revive the agreement.
