<![CDATA[This study analyzes the United States’ foreign policy toward Iran’s nuclear program during 2021–2024. In 2022, President Joe Biden expressed the intention to resume dialogue with Iran; however, this effort was rejected by 48 Republican senators who insisted on continuing the Maximum Pressure policy initiated during the Trump administration.
