Iran’s nuclear policy is under scrutiny as the snapback mechanism of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) raises concerns.

The JCPOA’s sunset clause, expiring next October, could prompt European nations to activate the mechanism, further complicating Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. This situation emphasizes the need for a more constructive approach from the international community.
