The Iran Deal: The Case for Cooperation under the International System
Sina Azodi /Jan 23, 2018
The Trump administration's vocal pessimism regarding the Iran deal threatens the legitimacy of the entire nonproliferation regime. Here, Sina Azodi argues that their bad faith stems from a realist misunderstanding of the incentives in the agreement itself.
In July 2015, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) brought forth a diplomatic resolution to the conundrum caused by Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. More commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA is a nuclear non-proliferation agreement between Iran and the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany (P5+1), and is backed by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (UNSCR 2231), making it a part of international law. The agreement curbs Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, and results in the recognition of its civilian nuclear program by major world powers.

While international expectations that the United States will abide by the Agreement will serve as a strong incentive not to withdraw, the structures of the Deal also don’t formally prevent the United States from walking away. And yet, although the legal option to withdraw from the Agreement exists, it would be extremely imprudent for the Trump Administration do so. Remaining a party to the JCPOA would serve the United States’ interests, protect the United States and its allies, and contribute to a stronger and more cooperative international order. http://www.yjil.yale.edu/is-the-trump-administration-bound-by-the-iran-deal/
