SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Tehran has presented a new proposal to the United States to revive the 2015 nuclear deal Iran foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Wednesday according to Iran’s state TV.
Since Washington walked out from that deal in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump and reimposed sanctions against Iran, Tehran has breached many of the deal’s restrictions on its nuclear activities including enrichment.
Numerous rounds of talks involving U.S. and Iranian negotiators have been held in the past year to reach a new agreement to replace a 2015 deal exchanging curbs on Iranian nuclear activities for sanctions relief.
The Iran nuclear agreement is formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Under its terms, Iran agreed to dismantle much of its nuclear program and open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for billions of dollars worth of sanctions relief.
The (JCPOA) imposes restrictions on Iran’s civilian nuclear enrichment program and the agreement had been made by world powerful countries including (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States)
However after President Donald Trump pulled out Washington for the agreement in 2018 and reimposed the crippling sanction on the country, Tehran subsequently fell out of compliance with some terms of the agreement.
