History

Historical Context

The Iran nuclear deal, established in 2015, aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief, following decades of tension since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The U.S. withdrawal from the agreement in 2018 escalated hostilities, prompting Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu to highlight Iran's advancing uranium enrichment, which now exceeds 60%, raising concerns over regional security and potential military action.
