Definition

The JCPOA is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the 2015 agreement between Iran, the P5+1, and the EU to ensure Iran nuclear program remains exclusively peaceful.

Background

The agreement paired limits on enrichment, stockpiles, centrifuges, and verification with relief from nuclear-related sanctions.

Position

It is central to Iran nuclear policy, IAEA monitoring, sanctions, snapback, and regional security analysis.

Distinctions

  • The JCPOA is a political nuclear agreement, not a peace treaty.
  • It is distinct from the NPT and from IAEA safeguards themselves.
