History

Historical Context

In July 2015 the United States, Iran, the European Union and P5+1 powers signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in Vienna, unlocking tens of billions of dollars in frozen assets and capping Iran’s centrifuges at 6,104. The deal required IAEA inspections of nuclear sites. Today Qatar- and Pakistan-mediated talks at Bürgenstock aim to revive that multilateral framework as the 60-day roadmap nears expiration.
