History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed in Vienna on 14 July 2015 by Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, plus the EU), lifted UN and EU nuclear sanctions and released roughly $100 billion of frozen assets, raising oil exports by about 30 %. Today’s Qatar-Pakistan Hormuz line, U.S. waivers and regional warnings echo the deal’s fragile de-confliction mechanisms.
