Iran has effectively terminated its commitment to restrictions on its nuclear program as a landmark 10-year deal with Western powers officially came to an end. According to Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all provisions related to the agreement, including those limiting the country's nuclear activities and mechanisms, are no longer in effect.
However, in a statement released on Saturday, Tehran reiterated its commitment to diplomacy, saying it remains open to negotiations with world powers as long as they offer guarantees against military action. This stance is reflective of Iran's longstanding position that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and should not be subject to external restrictions.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, was adopted by six world powers – China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States – in 2015. In exchange for lifting international sanctions against Iran, Tehran agreed to limit its nuclear activities.
But when US President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018, Washington reinstated sanctions on Iran, leading the country to step up its nuclear program. Despite efforts by the three European powers to revive the deal through diplomatic talks, they have failed so far.
The expiration of the JCPOA has significant implications for global security and the Middle East region, as it may embolden Iranian leaders to further pursue their nuclear ambitions without external constraints. While Iran's stance on diplomacy remains unchanged, there are concerns that Western powers' efforts to restart negotiations will be hindered by ongoing tensions between Tehran and its regional rivals.
The IAEA has expressed concerns about Iran's nuclear stockpile since the start of a war in June, which struck Iranian military sites and killed over 1,000 Iranians. The agency described this lack of verification as a matter of serious concern, highlighting the potential risks of an Iranian nuclear program going unchecked.
With diplomatic efforts currently stalled, it remains to be seen how Iran's stance on its nuclear program will evolve in the coming days.

What are they gonna do next? Are they gonna try and build a bomb or what? The world is watching and it's not looking good 
can we pls get some diplomacy going tho? 
maybe china france germany russia uk us can put their heads together and find a solution that works for everyone? 
let's keep our fingers crossed! 
so iran is basically outta the 10 yr nuclear deal and now they're all like "we still wanna negotiate but only if you promise not to bomb us 
it's gonna be super hard for western powers to get back into talks now. and what about israel? they've been all anti-iran like crazy 
this could get messy real fast. i guess only time will tell how iran's nuclear ambitions play out but for now, let's just say my anxiety levels are through the roof 
anyway i guess Iran still wants 2 b diplomatic but only if the west guarantees they wont attack 
and what about china france germany russia uk?? are they even gonna get involved in this mess 
! Meanwhile, since 2020, Iran's nuclear stockpile has been steadily rising... 
back in 1996 and people thought aliens were gonna come and destroy us all 
. But you know, I kinda miss those analog times when news didn't move that fast 
. It feels like everyone's jumping into action without thinking things through 
so iran just basically says bye bye to the whole deal thing now they're all like "peaceful purposes only" and i'm over here thinking what about all the times they've tried to build nukes before 
. I mean, I get that Iran's been pushing back against the US and Europe, but can't they see how this is gonna escalate into something bigger? 
It's not just about Iran or the US anymore, it's about global security. We need to find a way to get everyone back to the table for real talks
