History

Historical Context

The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program, involving the U.S. and six other nations. Following the U.S. withdrawal in May 2018 under President Trump, sanctions were reimposed, leading to heightened tensions. Trump's current demands for cessation of enrichment echo earlier diplomatic efforts, while the situation risks escalating into military confrontations reminiscent of the 2003 Iraq War aftermath.
