History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was finalized on July 14, 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 nations, limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. This agreement followed years of negotiations, including the 2013 Geneva interim agreement. Current discussions reflect ongoing tensions, particularly regarding Iran's missile program, which could reshape U.S.-Iran relations and regional stability.
