The US will withdraw from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the accord between Iran and a group of world powers.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is an international agreement on the nuclear program of Iran reached in July 2015 between Iran, the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council-China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States – and Germany) and the European Union.

The decision was announced by the President of the US.

The US will also re-impose economic sanctions on Iran.
