History

Historical Context

Iran's nuclear program, initiated in the 1950s, intensified after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, leading to international scrutiny. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action aimed to limit Iran's uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief. However, the U.S. withdrawal in 2018 reignited tensions, culminating in ongoing diplomatic challenges and military escalations, including Trump's proposed ceasefire plan in 2026.
