# The United States joins the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran Date: 2015 ## The fact On 14 July 2015 the United States, the E3/EU, and Iran announced the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in Vienna. UNSCR 2231 later endorsed it. Implementation Day followed in January 2016. ## Context Prior sanctions and P5 talks sat as parents. Neighbouring Cuba opening is a neighbour diplomatic file. He did not sit as the IAEA. Kerry negotiated. Other parties signed. Cuba 17 December 2014 is a neighbour. Paris 2016 is a later depositary act. [Netanyahu](/people/benjamin-netanyahu)’s 2015 Congress speech is polarisation weather, not this text. A United States president proposes, signs, vetoes, and directs the executive. Congress enacts statutes. The Federal Reserve, states, courts, and later presidents share later series. Office-holding is not authorship of every later outcome. Allegation is not a completed judgment. Legislative achievements require shared congressional attribution. He does not set the federal funds rate, write a state Medicaid waiver by himself, or convert a 2009 oath into a unique 2016 uninsured coefficient. A signature is not unique authorship of a House and Senate text. A troop order is not authorship of every later round. He is not president as of 27 August 2026. [Donald Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump) is president from 20 January 2025. [Joe Biden](/people/env-person-joe-biden) was president 2021–2025. ## Evidence and sources U.S. Department of State carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [humanitarian access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) and [sanctions-pressure](/drivers/sanctions-pressure): a completed multilateral nuclear bargain with relief lag. ## What is established and what is not Established: 14 July 2015 JCPOA announcement, independently reported. Not established: that every centrifuge uniquely stopped that hour, or a unique later regional-war coefficient from Vienna. 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. line. Kerry negotiated. Other parties and the IAEA share verification. Congress did not ratify a treaty.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The United States joins the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran, not a later speech about The United States joins the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The United States joins the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran on 2015-07-14 is not a licence to treat every later U.S. Department of State 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 The United States joins the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He owned the U.S. line. Kerry negotiated. Other parties and the IAEA share verification. Congress did not ratify a treaty. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Barack Obama: https://factrail.ai/people/barack-obama ## Drivers - Sanctions Pressure: https://factrail.ai/drivers/sanctions-pressure - Humanitarian Access: https://factrail.ai/drivers/humanitarian-access ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-idUSKCN0PO0GQ20150714 - https://2009-2017.state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi/iran/jcpoa/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/us-obama-jcpoa-2015
