Iran’s nuclear program is again at the center of global debate, especially amidst the evolving global scenario of rising tensions between Iran and the West. Similarly, the revival of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has been central to the debate on Iran’s nuclear program. The establishment of JCPOA in the year 2015 was a watershed moment in the history of nuclear negotiations when world powers and Iran reached this key agreement.[1] This agreement, which aims to act as an impediment to Iran’s nuclear development while evading sanctions, experienced a major blow in 2018 with the U.S. withdrawal announced by the Trump administration. Since the United States’ withdrawal, several initiatives have been taken to revive the agreement; however, no successful outcome has been reached, leaving the JCPOA in limbo.
