The JCPOA was signed in July 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 (US, UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany), lifting international sanctions in exchange for restrictions on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. Iran has fully complied with its commitments, including reducing enrichment levels, limiting centrifuges, and redesigning the Arak reactor.

On October 18, 2025, Resolution 2231 automatically expired, marking the formal legal conclusion of the JCPOA.
