The agreement was signed by Iran on the one hand and France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Russia and the United States on the other.
In 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the deal and reimposed U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Iran responded by increasing uranium production.
