The 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was an international accord aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. Signed by Iran, the United States, and other world powers, the deal placed restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities, including uranium enrichment levels and inspections, to prevent the development of nuclear weapons. In 2018, then-President Donald Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA, criticizing the deal for not addressing Iran's missile program and regional activities. Following the withdrawal, the U.S. reimposed strict sanctions on Iran, leading to increased tensions and Iran gradually reducing its compliance with the agreement. The move significantly impacted international diplomacy and efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions.
