What to know: The Biden administration has long promised to restore the 2015 Iran nuclear deal — formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA — which put significant restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from economic sanctions after Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018. |
What's the big deal?: The goal of the deal was to reduce the chances of a war breaking out between a nuclear-armed Iran and its regional rivals: Saudi Arabia and close U.S. ally, Israel. However, since then, Saudi Arabia and Iran have restored diplomatic ties. |
