History

Historical Context

The July 14 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by Iran and the P5+1 (U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Russia, China), lifted UN and EU nuclear sanctions and freed about $100 billion of frozen Iranian assets while granting the IAEA extensive monitoring. Abbas Araghchi’s recent seven-day Hormuz proposal mirrors that conditional relief, seeking $12 billion in asset releases and a blockade lift to revive Strait traffic.
