History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), finalized on July 14, 2015, aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief from the U.S. and P5+1 nations. Iran agreed to reduce its uranium stockpile by 98% and accept rigorous inspections. However, tensions escalated after the U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018, complicating diplomatic relations and regional stability.
