President Trump's 2018 withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) sparked a chain reaction of instability in the Middle East. Following the U.S. exit, Iran exceeded nuclear limits, heightening fears of its nuclear capabilities. The situation deteriorated into a cycle of escalating tensions, with threats from Russia to support Iran with nuclear warheads. The conflict has now manifested in military action from the U.S. against Iran, illustrating a shift in regional power dynamics and concerns about Iran's potential nuclear arsenal.
This erosion of trust set off a tit-for-tat dynamic: Iranian nuclear advances prompted more talk of preemptive strikes by Israel, now seems to have culminated in military action.
U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear sites underscore the prophetic warnings of destabilization following Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA, reshaping the Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape.
