Historical Context

The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed in Vienna on 14 July 2015 by Iran and the P5+1, limited enrichment to 3.67% for ten years and freed roughly $100 billion in assets. After the U.S. exit in 2018 and Iran’s 2025 termination, President Donald Trump met Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi in New York in 2026, renewing the diplomatic track.
