and reprocessing), has committed to verifiably re-
frain permanently from such activity in the future

sively for export to foreign nuclear fuel production 
facilities pursuant to internationally agreed arrange-
ments and subject to strict international safe-
guards), and is abiding by that commitment; or 
(2) the government of that country—
(A) has, either on its own initiative or pur-
suant to a binding decision of the United Na-
tions Security Council, suspended all nuclear

pending a decision by Iran to implement meas-
ures that would permit the President to make
