procedureThe United States should ensure the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is prepared to expeditiously investigate any credible and specific information regarding Iran's compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), including conducting inspections at any necessary sites, such as military sites.
