History

Historical Context

Iran's nuclear program, initiated in the 1950s, gained international scrutiny after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, involving the U.S. and P5+1, aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities, resulting in a 98% reduction of its uranium stockpile. However, the U.S. withdrawal in 2018 reignited tensions, with Iran now nearing nuclear threshold status, impacting regional stability and relations with Gulf states.
