Why this matters

The US-Iran nuclear deal has been a contentious issue for years, with the US withdrawing from the original agreement in 2018. Renewed negotiations aim to de-escalate tensions and prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but Trump's demands and Iran's mistrust complicate efforts, impacting regional stability and global oil markets.
