US Iran Nuclear Deal: Diplomatic Hopes Amid Rising Tensions

Description

The US Iran Nuclear Deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was signed in 2015 to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. After the U.S. withdrew in 2018 under the Trump administration, tensions escalated, leading Iran to breach key limits. Renewed negotiations aim to revive the deal, but political shifts, regional hostilities, and trust deficits complicate progress. The deal’s restoration is seen as vital to Middle East stability and global non-proliferation efforts. Diplomacy remains the preferred path, though recent developments suggest a fragile balance between cooperation and confrontation.
