The document discusses the Iran Nuclear Deal between Iran and several world powers. It provides background on Iran's nuclear program and the sanctions imposed by the international community in response. The deal reached in 2015, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, lifted sanctions in exchange for restrictions and monitoring of Iran's nuclear activities. However, in 2018 US President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the deal, reimposing sanctions and citing concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions. The impact of the US withdrawal and possible solutions going forward are discussed.
