The UK, France and Germany are expected to announce that they will breach the 2015 Iran nuclear deal by refusing to lift sanctions as required by the nearly defunct pact, the Guardian reports.
The US pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018 and Iran has breached its curbs on enrichment levels and stockpile sizes, but London, Paris and Berlin have continued to honor the treaty until now.
But Iran’s sale of arms to Russia, and possible future transfers of ballistic missiles have changed the calculus, along with the breaches of the pact, the Guardian reports, citing diplomats from Britain and the European Union.
The 2015 agreement, known as the JCPOA, included dates when sanctions on Iranian entities would need to be lifted by the West. However, the UK, France and Germany will soon announce they will leave those penalties in place, breaching the deal for the first time.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
