The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, is a landmark 2015 accord reached between Iran and several world powers, including the United States, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom. The agreement established strict limits on Iran's nuclear program and enrichment capabilities in exchange for the lifting of international economic sanctions. In 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement under the Trump administration, leading to subsequent tensions and efforts to renegotiate the deal.
