In 2015, a group of countries made up of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States reached a multilateral agreement with Iran that ended a decades-long dispute over Tehran’s nuclear programme and effectively blocked its pathways to nuclear weapons.

Yet President Joe Biden risks further escalating this nuclear crisis by allowing domestic political pressures rather than effective nonproliferation policy to guide America’s approach to Iran.
