Why did Trump leave?
Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018, calling it 'defective' and not tough enough on Iran. He wanted a new, stricter agreement that would also curb Iran's ballistic missile programme and regional influence. This withdrawal led to renewed US sanctions on Iran, increasing tensions, which are reflected in the current story's warnings.
