Read the full account

On 14 July 2015 Iran and the E3/EU+3 concluded the JCPOA in Vienna. Khamenei had set red lines and allowed Rouhani and Zarif to close.

Context

Rouhani and Zarif negotiated. Obama’s US sat. Neighbouring implementation day is 16 January 2016. He did not sit in the Palais Coburg.

JPOA 2013 is the parent interim. Implementation day 2016 is the child. 2019 reductions are a later reversal.

The Supreme Leader of Iran is commander-in-chief and the highest constitutional authority. He does not write a US presidential strike order, an IAEA Board resolution, or a Hamas military plan. Presidents, the IRGC, and the Guardian Council implement and share specific files.

What the sources establish

United Nations Security Council carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: 14 July 2015 JCPOA conclusion, independently reported, with his publicly stated red lines and permission to close.

Rouhani and Zarif negotiated. The E3/EU+3 signed.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Iran, the E3/EU+3 and the EU conclude the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, not a later speech about Iran, the E3/EU+3 and the EU conclude the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He set red lines and allowed the close. Rouhani and Zarif negotiated. The E3/EU+3 signed. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
