The
President spoke by phone today with President Vladimir Putin of the
Russian Federation to discuss the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA) reached among the P5+1,
the European Union, and Iran regarding Iran’s nuclear program. The
President thanked President Putin for Russia’s important role in
achieving this milestone, the culmination of nearly 20 months of intense
negotiations. They affirmed that the JCPOA represents
an historic solution that will verifiably prevent Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon by cutting off all of the pathways to a bomb while
ensuring the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program going forward. The leaders committed to remain in close coordination
as the JCPOA is operationalized and also expressed a desire to work
together on reducing regional tensions, particularly in Syria.
