“Since Implementation Day, 16 January 2016 The International Atomic Energy Agency, the IAEA, has issued seven reports documenting continued implementation by Iran of its nuclear related commitments.

The Secretary-General believes that the comprehensive and sustained implementation of the JCPOA would guarantee that Iran’s nuclear programme remains exclusively peaceful while allowing for transparency, monitoring, and verification.”

“Almost two years after its conclusion, and one-and-a-half years after Implementation Day, we can say that the JCPOA is being properly implemented and is delivering on its objectives. The initial results are clear and speak for themselves: Iran's nuclear programme has been rolled back and placed under tight inspections; the IAEA has repeatedly confirmed - in six reports - that Iran is abiding by its commitments. At the same time, and as a consequence of the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions, we are witnessing improvements in Iran's macro-economic performance.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Nikki Haley, Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations:
“The Secretary-General’s report is filled with devastating evidence of the nature of the Iranian regime. In paragraph after paragraph, it documents the Iranian government’s actions in defiance of Resolution 2231: repeated ballistic missile launches, proven arms smuggling, illicit procurement of ballistic missile-related technology. Iran’s destructive and destabilizing role in the Middle East goes far beyond its illicit missile launches. From Syria to Yemen and Iraq to Lebanon, Iran’s support for terrorist groups continues unabated.”
