Iran cannot be trusted to have vital constraints on its nuclear program lifted. The United States is committed to ensuring that Iran never comes close to possessing a nuclear weapon.
Starting November 5, 2018, all nuclear cooperation with Iran, except for the limited activities for which waivers are being granted, will be sanctionable. This includes:
Re-designating the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and 23 of its subsidiaries.
Placing new limits on Iran’s nuclear program significantly beyond current restrictions. Iran will not be able to pursue any new nuclear facilities with foreign assistance, including power reactors or hot cell facilities currently allowed under the JCPOA.
Involvement in the expansion of Iran’s nuclear capabilities beyond current limits will also be subject to sanctions.
Final requirement before sanctions snap back on #Iran’s regime tomorrow: The regime must end its threatening behavior against its neighbors, including threats to destroy Israel, firing missiles into Saudi Arabia and UAE, threats to international shipping, and cyberattacks.
