In 2018, Donald Trump’s United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement and reinstated US economic sanctions. In response, the Iranians began to free themselves from the commitments dictated by the pact called JCPOA. The US administration of Joe Biden says it wants to return to the agreement if Tehran renews its commitments, but Iran is demanding the lifting of sanctions as well as guarantees that Washington will no longer withdraw from the JCPOA. Iran has also called for the removal of the regime’s ideological army, the Revolutionary Guards, from the US list of “terrorist organizations“, without it being officially presented as a”Red line“.
