This week marks the 40th anniversary of the storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, an event that marked the start of a decades-long stand off between Washington and Iran.
by a U.S. cruiser amid the"tanker war" period of the Iran-Iraq conflict, in which American forces clashed repeatedly with the Iranians.The new century brought no respite. The 9/11 attacks sucked America deeper in the Middle East, and President George W. Bush's inclusion of Iran in his so-called"Axis of Evil" raised fears that the country might be next on his list of military actions.
The other signatories have maintained their support for the agreement, though they were limited in their ability to soften the blow of subsequent U.S. sanctions. Furious, the Iranian regime has taken steps to spool up its nuclear capacity in violation of the JCPOA's terms, giving the Trump administration yet more reasons to refuse to return to compliance.
The situation has also been a boon to Iran's hardliners, many of whom never trusted that Washington would deliver on its promises. Back in 2015, the moderates won out. But four years later Iran has little to show for its efforts and—by most accounts—compliance with the JCPOA.
