What is the terms and conditions of Iran nuclear deal 2015? What will be future after Soleimani’s death?
Relations January 14, 2020 0 COMMENTSHistorical Iran’s nuclear deal is about to end after the ongoing crisis. US has already stepped back from this deal and imposed sanctions on Iran. After this deal there were a wave of joy in youth of Iran , who are already fed up from worlds tight sanctions. Iran’s youth want to interact with world and unemployment ,poverty due tight sanctions of western world. After this deal Iran was bound to stop uranium enrichment for nuclear purpose and was bound to allow international inspection team to have a check on its nuclear plants. But after the death of Qasem Suleimani in a US drone attack near Baghdad airport , Iran announced to start its nuclear program again, and the deal which was seen as a game changer for the peace of world has become ineffective.
What is the deal?
Iran always has affirmed that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purpose .
But suspicions it was being used as a cover to develop a nuclear bomb prompted the UN Security Council, US and EU to impose crippling sanctions from 2010.
In 2015, Iran reached a deal with six powers – the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany – that saw it limit its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief.
The deal restricted Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which is used to make reactor fuel but also nuclear weapons. It was also required to redesign a heavy-water reactor being built, whose spent fuel would contain plutonium suitable for a bomb, and allow international inspections.
How this deal failed?
First, US President Donald Trump abandoned the deal in May 2018 and reinstated US sanctions. He wanted a new deal that would also curb Iran’s ballistic missile programme and its involvement in regional conflicts.
Iran refused and saw the value of its currency plummet and its inflation rate soar as the sanctions took effect.
When the sanctions were tightened in May 2019, Iran stopped abiding by some deal commitments.
But it was in January 2020 that the deal completely fell apart.
Tensions escalated when US air strikes in Iraq killed Iran’s top military general Qasem Soleimani, and Iran responded with strikes on US troops in Iraq and accidentally brought down a Ukrainian passenger plane near Tehran.
Iran declared it would no longer abide by any of the restrictions imposed by the deal – including limitations on its enrichment of uranium.
France, Germany and the UK triggered a formal complaint over Iran’s violations of the deal’s terms.
