History

Historical Context

On 14 July 2015 the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China, required Iran to cut its centrifuges from about 19,000 to 6,104 and limit enrichment to 3.67 % while the IAEA gained unrestricted access. The deal’s sanctions-relief framework and inspection regime now serve as the reference point for any renewed U.S.–Iran nuclear talks.
