Iran Declares Expiration of 10-Year Nuclear Deal Commitments
Iran reaffirmed its commitment to diplomacy despite the deal's conclusion.
TEHRAN: Iran has officially announced that the ten-year nuclear agreement signed with world powers in 2015 has expired, and it is no longer bound by the deal’s terms.
According to a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry, all provisions of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) expired on Saturday. However, Iran reaffirmed its commitment to diplomacy despite the deal’s conclusion.
The JCPOA, signed in 2015, included Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China. Under the agreement, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of international economic sanctions.

The deal aimed to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program remained peaceful, but its future came into question when former U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018.
Iran’s announcement marks a significant shift in the ongoing tensions surrounding its nuclear ambitions, although Tehran insists it remains open to diplomatic engagement moving forward.
