History

Historical Context

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), finalized on July 14, 2015, aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, involving the U.S. and P5+1 nations. Following the U.S. withdrawal in 2018, tensions escalated, with Iran resuming uranium enrichment and military provocations.
