WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE JCPOA

JCPOA is Based on Verification, Not TrustThis deal includes the most comprehensive and intrusive verification regime ever negotiated.••There will be 24/7 monitoring of Iran’s keydeclared nuclear facilities, including Natanz,Fordow, and Arak.••International inspectors will have access to Iran’sentire nuclear supply chain — its uranium minesand mills; its conversion facility; its centrifugemanufacturing and storage facilities; and its otherdeclared nuclear sites — critical elements which willbe under watchful eye for 25 years. As a result, Iranwould need to construct an entire covert supply chainto pursue a covert nuclearweapons program.••Going forward, Iran will implement the AdditionalProtocol, which ensures the IAEA can seek accessto nany undeclared suspicious location. Put simply,the IAEA will have access when it needs it, and whereit needs it. If the IAEA has concerns, no site will beconsidered off limits in order to address them and thiscould include military sites.• • The JCPOA will also require that Iran grant the IAEAaccess to any requested locations within 24 days if amajority of our partners agree it is necessary.This means we can achieve the access IAEA inspectorsneed if the United States and our European allies arein agreement.••A dedicated procurement channel will be establishedto monitor and approve, on a case-by-case basis, thesupply, sale, or transfer to Iran of certain nuclearrelatedand dual-use materials and technology — anadditional transparency measure to prevent diversionof sensitive goods to a covert program.••Iran has agreed to steps with the IAEA to address thepossible military dimensions of Iran’s past program— or PMD. Iran will not receive sanctions relief untilIran has completed those steps. The IAEA will haveappropriate access to Parchin.
