Tensions between the US and Iran are escalating as Tehran warns of "reciprocal action" if Washington fails to uphold its commitments under a landmark nuclear agreement. The warning comes as Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, reiterated the country's stance on the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal. The MOU, signed by the US, Iran, and other world powers, aimed to restrict Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. However, the deal has been on shaky ground since former US President Donald Trump withdrew from it in 2018, and the Biden administration's efforts to revive the agreement have been met with skepticism by Iran. With the situation at a critical juncture, the international community is watching closely to see how the US will respond to Iran's warning.
