Iran's Nuclear Program: Agreements, Enrichment, and Disagreements
Iran is involved in discussions about its nuclear program.
In 2015, Iran made a deal to limit its nuclear activity, but the U.S. later left this agreement.
Currently, Iran is enriching uranium, but says it's not trying to build a nuclear weapon.
Experts disagree; some believe Iran is not building nuclear weapons, while others, including President Trump, disagree.
International watchdogs are inspecting Iranian nuclear sites to ensure compliance.
Iran is a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iran signed the JCPOA in 2015, agreeing to limits on uranium enrichment.
Donald Trump withdrew the US from the JCPOA in 2018.
Iran had at least 408 kg of 60 percent enriched U-235 as of May.
The IAEA has no proof of Iran seeking nuclear weapons, according to its head.
