History

Historical Context

Iran's nuclear program, initiated in the 1950s, faced scrutiny after the 2002 revelation of undeclared facilities. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities, reducing uranium stockpiles by 98%. However, following the U.S. withdrawal in 2018, Iran's enrichment activities surged, raising fears of military escalation, particularly with Israel, as tensions continue to mount over its missile production capabilities.
