Iran has repeatedly denied that it is seeking a nuclear weapon, as it insists that its program is only for civil purposes such as energy production.

JCPOA allowed Iran to enrich its uranium, but it was restricted to the 3.7 percent fertilization levels required for a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. At the request of Israel, Trump abandoned the agreement in 2018, and Iran moved away from that a year later.
