"The original 2015 accord took roughly two years of negotiations to reach and involved hundreds of specialists across technical and legal fields, including multiple US experts. Under it, Iran agreed to restrict the enrichment of uranium and to subject itself to inspections in exchange for the relaxation of sanctions."
"Trump took the US out of that pact, calling it the worst deal ever. Before the initial US-Israeli strikes on Iran at the end of February, the US had made new demands including additional restrictions on Tehran's nuclear programme, the restriction of its ballistic missiles programme and an end to its support for regional armed groups."
"On July 14, 2015, Iran reached an agreement with the European Union and six major powers under which these states would roll back international economic sanctions and allow Iran greater participation in the global economy. In return, Tehran committed to limiting activities that could be used to produce a nuclear weapon."
In 2018, the US withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which had limited Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief. President Trump labeled the JCPOA as the worst deal ever and sought a new agreement with stricter terms. New demands included additional restrictions on Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and an end to its support for regional armed groups. As negotiations continue, uncertainty looms over the potential for a second round of talks in Islamabad.
