History

Historical Context

U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations echo the tumultuous history of nuclear diplomacy. Since 2002, when Iran's secret nuclear sites were exposed, tensions have escalated. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) aimed to limit Iran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief. However, U.S. withdrawal in 2018 and subsequent Iranian enrichment advancements have complicated efforts, reflecting a cycle of mistrust and geopolitical rivalry in the region.
