History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), finalized on July 14, 2015, involved Iran and the P5+1 nations, aiming to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions worth approximately $100 billion. Despite initial support, the deal faced criticism from U.S. conservatives and regional adversaries like Israel. The U.S. withdrawal in 2018 under President Trump reignited tensions, complicating future diplomatic relations.
