History

Historical Context

After the April 2, 2015 Lausanne talks led by EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Iran’s minister Mohammad Javad Zarif produced a framework, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was announced in Vienna on July 14, 2015, lifting nuclear-related sanctions and unlocking tens of billions of dollars for Iran.
