Donald Trump and the Unmaking of the Iran Nuclear Deal: A Chronological Account of a Tumultuous Relationship

The Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA),was a landmark agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and six world powers (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, and Russia).
