 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This bill prohibits the United States from rejoining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) until the President makes specified certifications regarding Iran, including actions taken by Iran relating to its nuclear program.

The JCPOA is an agreement, signed by Iran and several other world powers (including the United States), that places restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for certain sanctions relief. The United States withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018.
