# JCPOA Implementation Day takes effect

Date: 2016

## The fact

On 16 January 2016 the IAEA verified that Iran had completed initial JCPOA steps and Implementation Day took effect, unfreezing some sanctions. Khamenei remained Leader.

## Context

IAEA reported. Neighbouring 14 July 2015 is the parent. Neighbouring 2018 US exit is later. He did not sit as an IAEA inspector.

14 July 2015 is the parent. 8 May 2019 reductions are later.

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.

## Evidence and sources

International Atomic Energy Agency carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established: 16 January 2016 JCPOA Implementation Day, independently reported.

Not established: that the US would stay in the deal, or a unique later CPI coefficient from that Saturday.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The IAEA verified. The other parties lifted specified sanctions.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies JCPOA Implementation Day takes effect, not a later speech about JCPOA Implementation Day takes effect.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. JCPOA Implementation Day takes effect on 2016-01-16 is not a licence to treat every later International Atomic Energy Agency communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average JCPOA Implementation Day takes effect into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to His system completed the initial steps. The IAEA verified. The other parties lifted specified sanctions. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
