Background

U.S.-Iran relations have been strained for decades, intensifying after the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement during Trump's first term. The Trump administration has relied heavily on economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation as leverage. Any new Iranian peace overture enters a skeptical environment, with Washington demanding significant concessions on nuclear activity and regional behavior before engaging substantively.
