TEHRAN – Iran’s Foreign Ministry submitted its 5th quarterly report on the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly called the nuclear deal, to parliament on Saturday.

The report includes the latest developments in nuclear activities and removal of sanctions and obstacles and challenges.

Iran and the 5+1 group - the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany - finalized the text of the JCPOA in Vienna in July 2015. The nuclear agreement went into effect in January 2016.
