U.S. officials have identified Iran’s support for militant Middle East groups as a significant threat to U.S. interests and allies, but Iran’s nuclear program took precedence in U.S. policy after 2002 as that program advanced. Iran and USA shows each one hard face at the nuclear issue. The Trump Administration cited the deficiencies of the JCPOA in its May 8, 2018, announcement that the United States would exit the JCPOA and re- impose all U.S. secondary sanctions. The stated intent of that step, as well as subsequent actions such as the April 2019 designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), is to apply “maximum pressure” on Iran to compel it to change its behavior.
