international deal with Iran designed to keep the world safe from the spread of atomic weapons has officially ended

An international deal with Iran designed to keep the world safe from the

spread of atomic weapons has officially ended, with Tehran announcing the
termination of the decade-old agreement. Iran said on Saturday that it was
no longer bound by the 2015 agreement, officially known as the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), under which international sanctions
were lifted in exchange for limitations on Tehran’s nuclear programme.
From now on “all of the provisions [of the 2015 deal], including the
restrictions on the Iranian nuclear programme and the related mechanisms
are considered terminated”, Iran’s foreign ministry said in a
statement. However, it added that the country “firmly expresses its
commitment to diplomacy”.
