Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi emphasized that any new nuclear deal hinges on the U.S. lifting sanctions.

History

Historical Context

The U.S. stance on Iran's nuclear program echoes historical tensions from the early 2000s, when Iran's nuclear activities first drew international scrutiny. The 2006 UN Security Council resolutions imposed sanctions due to Iran's non-compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The situation worsened after the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, leading to heightened military threats and a precarious diplomatic landscape.
