Abstract

The article critically examines the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) of 2015, arguing that while it was intended to enhance congressional oversight of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and other agreements with Iran, INARA falls short of its goals. The analysis reveals that INARA is poorly drafted, lacks teeth, and fails to provide meaningful transparency or checks on executive power, ultimately undermining Congress's role in national security matters.
