Résumé:
This research intends to discuss the U.S withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal
known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). It analyses the different
phases of Iran’s nuclear program and how the deal was reached. It primarily sheds
light on the U.S. exit from the deal and its main effects. The deal aimed at lifting the
sanctions imposed on Iran in return of stopping nuclear activities for a specific time.
After a certain recovery for the Iranian economy, Trump’s dissatisfaction with the
deal led to his withdrawal and the reimpostion of new sanctions. The Trump
administration advanced a number of reasons for its exit. Iran has been specifically
accused of supporting terrorist groups. Therefore, the withdrawal could escalate the
situation and would lead to more complicated issues of retaliation. It may lead Iran to
return to nuclear activities.
