What was the 2015 nuclear deal?
The 2015 nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was an agreement between Iran and several world powers. Iran agreed to limit its nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. This is the 'deal' President Trump refers to when he warns Iran to behave or face US action.
