President Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.

Daniel Tannenbaum predicts the current conflict with Iran will likely result in a reversion to a deal similar to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

European government officials have indicated they agree with the Trump administration's objectives regarding Iran but believe a lack of consultation led to a worse outcome.

China's support for Iran during the current crisis has primarily been through its continued purchase of Iranian oil.

Daniel Tannenbaum believes that Russia has been a beneficiary of the recent conflict due to the resulting increase in oil prices.

Iran has gained more diplomatic leverage in the past few months than it had previously.

During a one-month period, the Trump administration authorized the global purchase of Russian oil.
