Five years after Trump’s exit, no return to the Iran nuclear deal

Al Jazeera  

Trump’s slew of sanctions and a changing political climate have contributed to JCPOA remaining in limbo. Tehran, Iran – Five years ago today, President Donald Trump held up a signed executive order for the cameras at the White House, announcing a unilateral withdrawal from a nuclear deal the United States had signed in 2015 with Iran and world powers. The US assassination of Iran’s top general Qassem Soleimani in Iraq in early 2020 took tensions to new heights, with Tehran and Washington teetering on the edge of war. Israel has also warned it will attack Iran to stop it from acquiring a bomb and Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, last week said the US president is willing to recognise “Israel’s freedom of action” if necessary. The passing of two Western-introduced resolutions last year at the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency that censured Iran – and Tehran’s response – and a deadlock in talks since September have not prompted any side to declare the JCPOA dead in the absence of a better alternative for the accord.
