Did Iran Comply With The JCPOA?
The 2015 Iran nuclear deal (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) took 20 months of formal, intensive negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 powers to finalize, though the broader diplomatic process spanned many years.
Highlights of the deal:
• Uranium enrichment: Capped at 3.67% purity for 15 years.
• Enriched stockpile: Reduced by 98% to a maximum of 300 kg.
• Centrifuges: Cut by two-thirds, leaving a maximum of 5,060 operational IR-1 units.
• Arak reactor: Redesigned so it could not produce weapons-grade plutonium.
• Fordow facility: Converted into a nuclear, physics, and technology research center with no fissile material.
* IAEA access: Granted the International Atomic Energy Agency continuous access to Iran's nuclear supply chain and facilities.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) repeatedly verified that Iran adhered to the strict nuclear limits and monitoring requirements of the 2015 accord.
Iran reduced its enriched uranium stockpile, capped enrichment levels, and limited its operational centrifuges and this was confirmed by IAEA and international intelligence confirmed full Iranian compliance.
So, if Iran complied, why did we go to war?
