History

Historical Context

Since the IAEA reported Iran’s non-compliance in 2006, the P5+1 and the EU negotiated a short-term freeze in November 2013 that led to the July 14 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, capping Iran’s centrifuges at roughly 6,100 and limiting enrichment to 3.67 %. Today, Senator JD Vance calls for equally rigorous inspections, echoing the JCPOA’s verification framework.
