Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018, re-imposing sanctions that devastated Iran's economy. Originally negotiated by the Obama administration, the deal limited Iran's nuclear program. Seven years later, Trump, now in his second term, is seeking to renegotiate despite the fallout from his previous actions, which have pushed Iran closer to acquiring a nuclear weapon. Recent diplomatic gestures, including a letter to Iran's supreme leader and threats of military action, have yielded limited results, with Iran open to indirect talks but resistant to direct negotiations.
Trump’s insistence on tearing up the 2015 Iran nuclear deal has led to a precarious situation where Iran has enriched uranium close to weapons-grade quality.
While Trump's foreign policy has created tension, he now faces the challenge of negotiating a new Iran deal as Iran progresses towards nuclear capabilities.
Despite Trump's escalating threats, Iran's leaders have shown a willingness to engage in indirect negotiations, indicating a potential pathway back to diplomacy.
The troubled relationship stemming from Trump's withdrawal from the Iran deal presents both a risk and an opportunity for diplomacy as global tensions rise.
