Another important nuclear issue in the Middle East was Iran’s nuclear program. The signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Iran and the P5+1 on 14 July 2015 was a major breakthrough.

War of Interests for Peace in Syria
Iran will hardly succeed in bringing Trump back to the JCPOA in the foreseeable future, and it is certainly not ready to sacrifice its few military and strategic allies for that purpose, which makes preserving its influence in Syria virtually a matter of principle.
The military and economic aspects of these ...
The New Round of U.S. Sanctions
The withdrawal of the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear programme has once again exacerbated the issue of sanctions against Iran.

... does not work. In recent weeks Washington and Tehran signalized that dialogue is possible, but it is unlikely to be successful. The statements Trump and his team are making towards Iran – including that of May 8 concerning the US withdrawal from the JCPOA – demonstrate that the core of the problem, how it is viewed in Washington today, lies not in the nuclear field, but in the Iranian regime itself, which is regarded by the US as non-acceptable.

“Russia – U.S. Relations in the Nuclear Sphere: Pathways to Cooperation.”
Given the limited dialogue between Russia and the United States, the withdrawal of the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the ambiguous situation on the Korean Peninsula, such contacts and discussions have taken on particular importance and significance. While Ernest Moniz is not a government official and does not represent the U.S. administration, he is head ...

On Dey 22 (January 12, 2018), U.S. President Donald Trump said his country would withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran unless the document were revised to eliminate what he believed to be substantial shortcomings.
