Introduction
On July 14, 2015, U.S. president Barack Obama announced what he described as an historic deal that was designed to resolve the ongoing crisis over Irans nuclear program. The Iranian nuclear crisis, which had lasted well over a decade, was sparked by revelations in 2002 and 2003 that Iran had constructed a covert uranium enrichment facility at a site called Natanz, was building a heavy-water production plant at a site called Arak, and had stated that it planned to construct a heavy-water reactor at the Arak site as well. These facilities raised significant international concerns, since they could be used to produce highly enriched uranium (HEU) and plutonium, both key ingredients for a nuclear bomb. These concerns intensified following reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stating in November 2003 that Iran had been conducting covert nuclear activities for nearly twenty years. In the years following these revelations, and in violation of UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions, Iran continued to press forward with its nuclear program, which many suspected to be part of a nuclear-weapon program, installing nearly twenty thousand centrifuges, producing a significant stockpile of enriched uranium, and nearing completion of the heavy-water reactor at Arak.
