Negotiators reached a JCPOA on July 14, 2015.

The P5+1 or the E3/EU+3, which includes the United States, United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation and the European Union, reached a historic agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the development of its nuclear program on July 14, 2015.[1] The agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), places limits Iran's nuclear program in exchange for economic sanctions relief.[2]

On January 16, 2016, the provisions of the JCPOA were implemented after International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Yukiya Amano said in a statement that he "released a report confirming that Iran has completed the necessary preparatory steps to start the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action."[3] The IAEA will continue to monitor Iran for nuclear-related activity. In return, Iran received billions of dollars in sanctions relief. According to Reuters, "Tens of billions of dollars worth of Iranian assets will be unfrozen and global companies that have been barred from doing business there will be able to exploit a market hungry for everything from automobiles to airplane parts."[4]

The following timeline highlights major events leading up to the implementation of the JCPOA.

There are now reports that your administration is contemplating taking an agreement, or aspects of it, to the United Nations Security Council for a vote. Enabling the United Nations to consider an agreement or portions of it, while simultaneously threatening to veto legislation that would enable Congress to do the same, is a direct affront to the American people and seeks to undermine Congress’s appropriate role."[79]
