  • Iran had completely withdrawn from JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) nuclear deal.
  • The announcement came after the US troops killed General Qassem Soleimani.
  • The Iran nuclear deal also called as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between Iran and the P5 plus Germany and the EU in 2015.
  • P5 is the five permanent members of the UNSC (US, China, France, Russia, and UK).
  • The deal restricts Iran’s nuclear programme, in return for lifting most economic sanctions against it.

Implications for India:

  • Iran is presently India’s third biggest supplier (after Iraq and Saudi Arabia) of oil, and any increase in prices will hit both inflation levels as well as the Indian rupee.
  • It would impact the development of Chahbahar port.
