History

Historical Context

Iran's nuclear ambitions date back to the 1950s, gaining international scrutiny after the 2003 revelation of its secret AMAD project. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities, but the U.S. withdrawal in 2018 led to a 300% increase in uranium enrichment. Today, Israel's Mossad warns of Iran's ongoing nuclear pursuits, raising regional security concerns.
