Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on 11 September that Iran was abiding by the rules set out in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement involving the USA, China, France, Germany, Russia and the UK, which it signed in July 2015. He was responding to US suggestions that Iran was not adhering to the deal. The US State Department has to notify Congress every 90 days of Iran's compliance with the deal. The next deadline is October and President Donald Trump has suggested that the USA will declare Iran non-compliant. However, Amano said Iran had not broken any promises and was not receiving special treatment. "The nuclear-related commitments undertaken by Iran under the (deal) are being implemented," he said in the text of a speech to a quarterly meeting of the IAEA's 35-member Board of Governors.
