How does Iran make nuclear decisions?
While Iran's supreme leader has the final say on Iran's nuclear program, the decision-making process and the various institutions involved are very hard to parse.
Controversy and confusion abound about how Iran makes decisions on the nuclear issue as the country and world powers near their deadline to reach a comprehensive deal.
On Feb. 4, Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency reported, “The Supreme Nuclear Committee is not convening.” The Supreme Nuclear Committee (SNC) operates under the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), the top decision-making body in Iran.
