The Iran nuclear deal. formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. came into effect in July 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 group of states — the US. the UK. France. Russia. and China plus Germany. It lifted nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran. which. in turn. voluntarily changed some aspects of its nuclear energy program.
The US. however. left the accord last May and reinstated the sanctions. The European partners. meanwhile. bowed to Washington’s pressure after they failed to honor their obligation to protect the Iranian economy in the face of US sanctions.
In response. Iran has initiated different steps in reducing its obligations under the accord since May to push the other parties to make efforts to salvage the deal.
