History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was established in 2015 to limit Iran's nuclear program, involving the U.S. and P5+1 nations. However, after the U.S. withdrew in 2018, Iran intensified its nuclear activities, leading to increased scrutiny from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The recent UN condemnation highlights ongoing tensions and the urgent need for renewed diplomatic negotiations to avert conflict.
