History

Historical Context

The 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aimed to limit Iran's enriched uranium stockpile to 300 kilograms and restrict enrichment levels to 3.67% for 15 years. This deal emerged from years of negotiations following Iran's controversial nuclear activities, which raised global concerns about potential weaponization. Ongoing tensions and military actions by the U.S. and Israel now threaten the agreement's enforcement and regional stability.
