The US effort to pull out of the nuclear agreement, called JCPA, was a plan Donald Trump has had since participating in the US presidential election. Finally, the US state officially announced its withdrawal from JCPA, the return of sanctions as in the past, and also readiness to resume negotiations if Iran wished. The main question in this article is what factors have influenced the US withdrawal from JCPA. The hypothesis of the article is: Trump’s foreign policy foundations, threatening nature of Iran after JCPA, creation of a common understanding and notion between the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia about the threat of Iran, their interpretation of JCPA role in strengthening regional presence of Iran and its ignorance in the context of JCPA and from the internal point of view, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s action after JCPA should be regarded as some of the key variables in Donald Trump’s decision to leave the JCPA agreement.
