Already in 2015 Iran, the USA, Russia, China, Great Britain, France and Germany had concluded an agreement that, in return, provided for the relaxation of international sanctions in return for concessions in the nuclear program. However, US President Donald Trump had dropped out of this contract in his first term in his first term and had put sanctions against the Islamic Republic back into force. Iran then no longer adhered to the agreement and has exceeded the limits of its uranium enrichment set in 2015. Production goes far beyond what the West considers for a civil energy program as necessary.
In his second term, Trump revived his policy of « maximum pressure » towards Iran. He threatened the country with bombing if it was not ready to compromise. In addition, Israel did not attack the Iranian nuclear facilities in the coming months, as insiders reported. (APA/Reuters)
