Since the first anniversary of the US withdrawal from JCPOA on May 8, 2018, and after European parties failed to meet Iran's interests without the United States, Iran has gradually taken steps to reduce its commitments to JCPOA every two months.
Referring to paragraphs 26 and 36 of the agreement, Iran has begun to reduce its commitments and has taken three steps so far.
Tehran had warned that if the other parties do not take practical action to meet Iran's interests within the next few days, Iran's fourth step will be implemented.
