History

Historical Context

Iran's nuclear ambitions echo past tensions, particularly since the 1979 revolution, which established a theocratic regime wary of Western influence. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities but unraveled after the U.S. withdrawal in 2018. Current negotiations reflect ongoing struggles for regional stability, reminiscent of earlier conflicts involving nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, particularly with Israel's nuclear program.
