# Iran and the EU3 sign the Paris Agreement on nuclear suspension

Date: 2004

## The fact

On 15 November 2004 Iran and Britain, France and Germany signed the Paris Agreement extending suspension of enrichment and related activities. Khamenei was Leader.

## Context

Neighbouring Tehran 2003 is the parent. Neighbouring later resumption under [Ahmadinejad](/people/mahmoud-ahmadinejad) is a different row. He did not sit in Paris.

Tehran 21 October 2003 is the parent. JPOA 2013 is a later interim.

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: 15 November 2004 Paris Agreement, independently reported.

Not established: that suspension became permanent, or a unique later GDP coefficient from that text.

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 Khatami government signed. The EU3 sat.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Iran and the EU3 sign the Paris Agreement on nuclear suspension, not a later speech about Iran and the EU3 sign the Paris Agreement on nuclear suspension.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Iran and the EU3 sign the Paris Agreement on nuclear suspension on 2004-11-15 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 Iran and the EU3 sign the Paris Agreement on nuclear suspension into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He allowed the extension. The Khatami government signed. The EU3 sat. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
