After years of negotiations, a breakthrough finally appeared.
In 2015, Iran and six major world powers reached a historic agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Under the deal:
Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program and allow international inspections.
In return, many economic sanctions were lifted.
Supporters believed the agreement could prevent nuclear conflict and stabilize the region.
However, Israel strongly opposed the deal, arguing that it did not permanently stop Iran from eventually developing nuclear weapons.
The debate divided global politics.
Peace had been attempted — but the tension remained.
