imprisonment of ,united ,states citizens4 7#g7 ,beginning on ,december #bh1 #bjag1 ,iranians from all social sectors have participated in protests against the ,iranian regime's oppressive domestic policies and destructive foreign policy1 in which over #a1jjj protestors have been arrested and #ba have been killed4 7#h7 ,the ,joint ,comprehensive ,plan of ,action fails to permanently prevent

outside the mandatory procurement channel1 and sending arms to terrorist groups around the ,middle ,east4 7#ac7 ,the current ,joint ,comprehensive ,plan of ,action framework is insufficient in
