The approval of the extension of sanctions against Iran (known as ISA), which was renewed for another 10 years without the signature of the U.S. President, raises the question of whether the JCPOA has been 'violated' or under what circumstances it would be. These sanctions were enacted in 1996 (before the revelation of Iran's nuclear program) and were extended in 2006 (after the public disclosure of the Islamic Republic's nuclear activities) with the addition of new sanctions. The U.S. government claims that the extension of this law is 'unnecessary,' but at the same time emphasizes that its renewal does not violate the JCPOA. The government of Hassan Rouhani states that if this law is 'implemented,' the JCPOA will be violated, while some other factions in Iran believe that its approval alone constitutes a violation of the JCPOA. In this program, alongside the opinions of Radio Farda's audience, you will hear the arguments of two analysts with completely different positions regarding the opposing sides.
Violation of the JCPOA?
