Iran was in breach of its obligations, voluntarily entered into, under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. It was therefore subject to economic sanctions. Under President Obama the US, together with the other members of the Security Council and Germany, did a deal with Iran under which sanctions were lifted in return for partial and temporary compliance with NPT obligations by Iran. President Trump always said it was a bad deal and had now revoked it. I think he is right, but the other signatories say they will continue to comply with the deal.

@Aliengel Firstly Iran is failing to comply with its obligations under the NPT. Remember that these are not obligations imposed on Iran by anybody else, they are obligations which it wiilingly signed up to when it acceded to the treaty. Secondly, Iran is funding Hamas to attack Israel, and is seeeking to dominate the Middle East at the expense of Saudi Arabia. Whether these things are “wrong” is a matter of opinion, but they are certainly contrary to western interests.

It's America's view that much of the rise in Islamic extremism and subsequent terrorist events under the umbrella of 'anti-west/pro-Islam' groups, are funded and or trained by Iran.
Iran has an embargo preventing it from selling it's oil to the West. Subsequently Iran is claiming 'poverty of it's people' and so a few years ago began trying to create nuclear power stations by way of alternative energy in the country.
These plants and subsequent testing have led some observers to think they are trying to acquire the ability to create nuclear weapons hence America's withdrawal from the agreement.

The deal is there is no deal. There was a deal but now the deal is off.
