"The comprehensive nuclear accord (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA), finalized on
July 14, 2015, provides Iran broad relief from U.S., U.N., and multilateral sanctions on Iran’s
energy, financial, shipping, automotive, and other sectors. Sanctions were suspended or lifted
upon the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) certification on January 16, 2016, that Iran
had complied with the stipulated nuclear dismantlement commitments under the agreement
(“Implementation Day”). On Implementation Day, Administration waivers of relevant sanctions
laws took effect and relevant Executive Orders (E.O.s) were revoked by E.O. 13716.
Remaining in place are those secondary sanctions (sanctions on foreign firms) that have been
imposed because of Iran’s support for terrorism, its human rights abuses, its interference in
specified countries in the region, and its missile and advanced conventional weapons programs.
Most sanctions that apply to U.S. companies, including regulations barring transactions between
U.S. and Iranian banks, remain in place. Under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231 (July
2015, most U.N. sanctions terminated as of Implementation Day, but U.N. restrictions on Iran’s

contributed to:
Iran’s crude oil exports to fall from about 2.5 million barrels per day (mbd) in 2011 to about 1.1 mbd by mid-2013. The effect of that export volume reduction has been further compounded by a fall in oil prices since mid-2014.
Iran’s economy to shrink by about 10% in the two years that ended in March 2014. The economy stabilized in 2014-15 as a result of modest sanctions relief under an interim nuclear agreement that went into effect on January 20, 2014. That accord allows Iran to access $700 million per month of hard currency from oil and other product sales, and caps Iran’s crude oil exports at the 1.1 mbd level.
constriction of Iran’s ability to procure equipment for its nuclear and missile programs and to import advanced conventional weaponry. However, these effects have not prevented Iran from continuing to develop its missile programs or from militarily assisting pro-Iranian movements and governments in the region. the June 2013 election as president of Hassan Rouhani, who articulated a priority of obtaining relief from international sanctions and isolation..."
