Newly appointed Secretary of State Antony Blinken has already commented on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear deal struck by Iran and six major powers in 2015, which committed Iran to restricting its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief from the United States and others.
