  • This house believes that the reimplementation of the Iran Deal (with its original terms unchanged) will bring more harm than good

    Infoslide

    The Iran nuclear deal or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was a deal reached between Iran and the permanent 5 members of the UN Security Council plus Germany in 2015 (under the Obama administration). Under this deal, Iran agreed to denuclearize, stopping further enrichment of uranium and destroying all uranium stockpiles it currently had, in exchange for the lifting of multilateral sanctions placed upon Iran by various nations that has severely hurt Iran's economy. Donald Trump however, unilaterally pulled out of the deal, reimposing a policy of maximum pressure and sanctions on Iran, to the condemnation of Iran and many other nations. Since the last election of President Biden, there has been pressure on the new administration to re-enter the Iran Deal (as is without changes) and hold up their end of the bargain

  • This house, as the Biden Administration, would prioritize immediately reinstating the JCPOA over negotiating further demands with Iran (i.e. requesting for the removal of ballistic missles, Iran's funding of extremist groups...).

    Infoslide

    The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) of 2015 is an agreement between Iran and several world powers that was created to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and open its facilities for international inspection in exchange for sanctions relief. Despite the request of other world powers, Trump withdrew from the deal and reinstated sanctions during his presidency. this was due to the deal not accounting for Iran's possession of ballistic missiles, Iran still funding 'radical terrorist groups", and other such reasons. As a result, Iran expanded their nuclear activities and has propagated a growing distrust towards the West since Trump's decision to reinstate sanctions. Currently, President Joe Biden has promised to renew the deal after negotiating with Iran.
