"One year after President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the multilateral 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, the deal is in deep trouble.
Known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the deal has successfully rolled back Iran's nuclear capabilities and put its activities under tighter monitoring, easing international concerns about Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Not surprisingly, Trump's ill-conceived "maximum pressure" campaign, which involves reimposing sanctions that were lifted when Iran met key JCPOA requirements, has done nothing to force changes in Iran's regional behavior or push Iran into accepting new U.S. demands.
Rather, the policy has sharply increased tensions in the Persian Gulf and decreased Iran's incentives to continue compliance with the JCPOA."
