History

Historical Context

The Iran Nuclear Deal, signed in 2015, aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief, involving the U.S. and P5+1 nations. Following the U.S. withdrawal in 2018, tensions escalated, with Iran increasing uranium enrichment. By June 2025, military strikes by Israel and the U.S. targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
