Washington, DC—This weekend, Iran is expected to have completed the initial steps required for implementation of the nuclear agreement reached in July 2015.
Once they have done so, the International Atomic Energy Agency will release a report verifying that Iran has fulfilled its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, after which Iran will receive relief from nuclear-related sanctions.
Experts from the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and Council for a Livable World are available to provide clarification on the implementation and to comment on its importance.
