• "Snapback" mechanism to restore international sanctions would have expired Oct. 18, 2025.
From 2027-2029:
• 2,500-3,500 IR-2m or IR-4 centrifuges would have been installed at Natanz - output potentially exceeding all 5,060 permitted IR-1s;
• IR-8 infrastructure would have been installed at Natanz; rotors fitted to stockpiled IR-6 and IR-8 machines under IAEA monitoring;
• Uranium tests in cascades of up to 150 IR-6 and 84 IR-8 would have been permitted.
By 2029:
• No further limits on advanced centrifuge manufacture or enrichment would have applied;
• Up to 1,200 IR-6 and 1,200 IR-8 centrifuges could have been stockpiled by this date;
• Breakout time would have been reduced to weeks or less - Iran would have been a de facto nuclear threshold state.
By 2031:
• No cap on enrichment purity level or enriched uranium stockpile would have applied;
• Enrichment at Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant would have been permitted; new enrichment plants permitted;
• Plutonium reprocessing prohibition would have been lifted; heavy water reactors permitted; no cap on heavy water production or stockpiling;
• No limits on centrifuge types or quantities would have remained;
• Powered by a fully deployed fleet of advanced centrifuges, Iran would have faced near-zero breakout time - able to produce weapons-grade uranium within days
In fact, the JCPOA was a very specific plan to progressively allow a state sponsor of terrorism and growing threat to the U.S., Israel, and their allies to enrich uranium legally and on an industrial scale with zero breakout time!
