Abstract
U.S. and Iranian tensions reached a peak before the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was negotiated to govern Iran’s nuclear programme. Oman hosted the final bilateral talks between the government of then-Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the United States in March 2013. With the election of moderate, flexible, and more eager to negotiate Hassan Rouhani as President of Iran in June 2013, progress was made faster in resolving differences with the West over Iran’s nuclear programme. On 24 November 2013, following numerous meetings and negotiations, an interim agreement was reached and formally dubbed the Joint Plan of Action. Thus, JCPOA’s cornerstone was the Nuclear Deal Framework of April 2015. The consequence was a public announcement of the historic progress toward completing JCPOA. Both government officials and the general population were relieved by the news. To truly secure the accord and ease tensions between the West and Iran, however, the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will need to play their important responsibilities
