# US to Reimpose Iran Naval Blockade on JCPOA Anniversary
The United States announced plans to reimpose a naval blockade of Iran on Tuesday, coinciding with what would have been the 11th anniversary of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The blockade was set to take effect on July 14, 2015—the date the landmark nuclear agreement was finalized in Vienna after negotiations involving Iran, Britain, and other parties.
The JCPOA was a multilateral nuclear accord designed to restrict Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. The timing of the US blockade announcement on the anniversary date underscores ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran over the nuclear agreement and broader regional security concerns.
