Joint Plan of Action

On 24 November 2013, the Joint Plan of Action (برنامه اقدام مشترک),[1] also known as the Geneva interim agreement (Persian: توافق هسته‌ای ژنو), was a pact signed between Iran and the P5+1 countries in Geneva, Switzerland. It consists of a short-term freeze of portions of Iran's nuclear program in exchange for decreased economic sanctions on Iran, as the countries work towards a long-term agreement.[2] It represented the first formal agreement between the United States and Iran in 34 years.[3] Implementation of the agreement began 20 January 2014.[4]

The Joint Plan of Action and the negotiations under it which followed eventually led to an April 2015 framework agreement and then a July 2015 final agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
