Overview

• Iran’s foreign ministry said all JCPOA limits and related mechanisms are terminated as of October 18 under the deal’s built‑in expiration.
• Iran notified the UN secretary-general and the Security Council president by letter that Resolution 2231’s provisions should be treated as expired.
• France, Germany and the United Kingdom reinstated pre‑2015 UN measures on September 28, including an arms embargo, asset freezes, inspection authorities, and financial constraints.
• Tehran called the European action legally void, while Russia and China rejected the E3 effort to restore the prior resolutions.
• The IAEA has reported Iranian enrichment around 60% and curtailed inspector access since June, even as Tehran says it remains open to diplomacy and seeks treatment like other non‑nuclear‑weapon NPT states.
