2015 nuclear deal

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian officials arrived in Switzerland to negotiate technical details of an interim deal addressing Iran’s nuclear program, the war in Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz. Tensions persist due to recent escalations in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, and Iran’s closure of the Strait, despite a renewed ceasefire in Lebanon.

US President Donald Trump did not include Oman in a list of countries approving a deal with Iran, despite Oman's role as a mediator for US-Iran talks and its facilitation of the 2015 nuclear deal.

AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group, expressed cautious support for President Trump's Iran deal framework, emphasizing the need to preserve Israel's right to respond to security threats. The group highlighted Congress's role in reviewing the agreement and called for addressing Iran's missile/drones programs and regional armed group support.

The United States and Iran have reached an interim deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with plans for a signing in Switzerland. Previous agreements have failed, and the deal's contents remain disputed. The timeline highlights key events in Iran’s nuclear program, including the 2015 nuclear deal and its collapse in 2018 under President Donald Trump.

Iran is rejecting prolonged negotiations with the US, citing one-sided agreements and failed diplomacy. Military strikes by the US and Israel have caused significant damage to Iran's infrastructure, but the conflict has imposed heavy costs on the US, including economic disruption and casualties. Iran's strategic calculus has shifted, leading to increased self-reliance in deterrence.

U.S.-Iran negotiations in Islamabad failed after mutual distrust and conflicting demands. Tehran rejected Washington's 'final offer' citing non-negotiable conditions, while the U.S. demanded Iran abandon nuclear ambitions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
