Vienna (IP) - The quarterly meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors (BOG) kicked off in Vienna, mulling over reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action(JCPOA).

Iran PressEurope: Iran's international nuclear agreement or the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between the country and P5+1 countries (Russia, China, UK, Germany, France, and the US) in 2015, but the US scrapped it on May 18, 2018, re-imposing more sanctions on Iran.

The eighth round of talks on removing sanctions, which began on December 27, 2021, entered a breathtaking phase on March 11, 2022, at the suggestion of EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell, and the negotiators returned to their capitals for political consultations.

Examining the report on technical cooperation, verification, and monitoring of Iran's nuclear program in UN Security Council Resolution 2231, implementation of the NPT in Syria, and nuclear safety in Ukraine are among the essential topics of the five-day meeting of the Board of Governors.
