“The nuclear agreement signed in 2015 marked a diplomatic triumph.
After agreeing to some of the most intrusive inspections in the history of
nuclear energy, Iran was granted a relieve from international sanctions.
The JCPOA between the P5+1, the EU, and Iran represents a triumphant
new method to approaching disagreements in the region and around the
world. Iran had signed an agreement with the US, who had not so long
ago labelled it as part of an “axis of evil.” Diplomacy, not war, won the
day. Now that this agreement is under threat due to President Trump’s
Iran policy, it is worthy of our time to examine the effects and the future
of the JCPOA.”
