History

Historical Context

The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) marked a significant diplomatic effort to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, following years of escalating tensions since the early 2000s. Despite initial compliance, U.S. withdrawal in 2018 reignited disputes, with Iran's nuclear advancements raising concerns among global powers, particularly the U.S., Israel, and European allies, about regional security and nuclear proliferation.
