Paper: GS – II, Subject: International Relations, Topic: Global Issues, Issue: Sanctions Reimposition on Iran.
Context:
The United Nations has reimposed an arms embargo and a series of nuclear-related sanctions on Iran following violations of the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Key Takeaways:
JCPOA:
- The Iran nuclear agreement (formally known as JCPOA), signed in July 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Russia, UK, US, Germany).
- It required Iran to dismantle much of its nuclear program and allow extensive international inspections in exchange for sanctions relief.
- The U.S. withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018 under President Trump, despite Iran’s compliance with the agreement.
- The Trump administration’s ‘maximum pressure’ policy aimed to force Iran into renegotiating the deal, a request Iran rejected.
Reactions, Challenges, and Consequences of Sanctions Reimposition on Iran:
The UN’s renewed sanctions on Iran highlight global divisions over its nuclear programme. They seek to enforce non-proliferation and regional security but risk worsening Iran’s economic crisis and escalating tensions. Diplomacy remains possible, though difficult.
