History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was established in 2015 to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, involving the U.S. and P5+1 nations. Despite Iran's commitment to reduce its uranium stockpile by 98%, tensions have persisted, particularly regarding regional actions and nuclear rights, as ongoing U.S.-Iran talks reflect the complex geopolitical landscape affecting Middle Eastern stability.
