Resolution to reinstate the U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement

Resolution to reinstate the U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement 

Submitted to the California Democratic Party 2027 State Convention 

Whereas, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran nuclear deal) signed in 2015 by the Islamic  Republic of Iran and the P5+7 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council People's Republic of China, French Republic, Russian Federation, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of Americasplus Federal Republic of Germany), placed significant restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief and was a step  forward for peaceful resolution of the conflict in the Middle East; and United States President Donald  J. Trump's withdrawal from the deal in 2018 has endangered Middle East peace, and 

Whereas, President Joe Biden has said the United States will return to the JCPOA if Iran resumes compliance, stressing that diplomacy is the best way to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and, 

Whereas, Republicans are demanding that the Biden administration seek additional concessions from Iran, beyond the terms of the JCPOA agreement, jeopardizing the opportunity to reinstate a crucial diplomatic victory for peace. 

Therefore, be it resolved, that the California Democratic Party supports a US return to the JCPOA agreement and the lifting of sanctions against Iran, without requiring additional concessions from Iran, and 

Be it further resolved, that the California Democratic Party urge the Representatives and Senators  from California to support a U.S. return to the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA).
