"Israel is conducting a successful diplomatic campaign to stop the nuclear agreement and prevent the lifting of sanctions on Iran. It is not over yet. There is still a long way to go, but there are encouraging signs." 

Iran started enriching uranium past the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action's restrictions after former President Donald Trump pulled out of the deal in 2018 and reimposed harsh sanctions.
