History

Historical Context

Iran's nuclear ambitions date back to the 1950s, gaining international scrutiny after the 2002 revelation of undeclared enrichment sites. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) temporarily limited Iran's nuclear activities, but U.S. withdrawal in 2018 led to escalating tensions. By 2025, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile had surged 22 times above JCPOA limits, raising fears of nuclear proliferation and regional instability.
