Iran's nuclear ambitions refer to the country's efforts to develop nuclear technology, which it claims is for peaceful purposes, such as energy production and medical applications. However, many nations, particularly the United States and Israel, express concerns that Iran's nuclear program could lead to the development of nuclear weapons, raising regional and global security issues.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), established in 2015, aimed to limit Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Despite this agreement, tensions have persisted, especially after the U.S. withdrew from the deal in 2018, leading to increased scrutiny and ongoing debates about Iran's intentions and the future of its nuclear program.
