Storyline

Following Iran’s announcement that it will stop complying with parts of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Secretary-General António Guterres today (8 May) issued a statement expressing that he “strongly hopes” that the landmark nuclear deal “can be preserved.”

Reading the statement, Spokesperson Farhan Haq said, “the Secretary-General has consistently reiterated that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action represents a major achievement in nuclear-non-proliferation and diplomacy and has contributed to regional and international peace and Security.”

The JCPOA was agreed upon by Iran and the P5+1 (China France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and endorsed by the Security Council in July 2015.

On 8 May 2018, the United States officially withdrew from the agreement.
