Proposed by E3 (UK, France, Germany) with EU as coordinator · 4/6/2021
JCPOA revival framework (E3 + US + Iran talks)
Diplomatic track aimed at restoring the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action after the 2018 US withdrawal. Multiple rounds held in Vienna and Doha from 2021 onward; technical agreement was reportedly close at several points but never finalised. The architecture continues to anchor most subsequent nuclear-track diplomacy.
Key points
- Restore enrichment cap (3.67% U-235) and stockpile limit
- Restore IAEA Additional Protocol inspection access
- Lift nuclear-related US, EU, and UN sanctions in defined sequence
- Sequenced compliance with snap-back mechanisms preserved
- Side discussions on regional and missile issues handled separately
