Centrifuges
Machines used to enrich uranium by spinning it rapidly to increase the concentration of uranium-235.
Iran's Stockpile Reduction
Iran committed to reducing its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98 percent to less than 300 kg (660 lb) under the JCPOA.
Economic Sanctions
Penalties imposed by countries against Iran affecting its oil exports, banking, and key industries as part of the JCPOA agreement and later reimposed by the US after withdrawal.
