History

Historical Context

The U.S. and Iran's nuclear negotiations echo past tensions dating back to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which severed diplomatic ties. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) temporarily eased sanctions for nuclear limits, but the U.S. withdrawal in 2018 reignited hostilities. Current talks in Oman reflect ongoing efforts to resolve a decades-long conflict over Iran's nuclear ambitions amidst regional instability and international scrutiny.
