History

Historical Context

The July 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China, lifted sanctions in exchange for limiting enriched uranium to 300 kg and operating no more than 5,060 centrifuges. That 2015 framework grew from the 2013 Geneva interim agreement, and today’s tentative 60-day cease-fire extension revisits those limits amid renewed diplomatic pressure.
