The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) marks a significant turning point in Middle Eastern politics, influencing regional dynamics amidst ongoing conflicts and collapsing state structures.

These changes pose complex challenges for international relations, as the current geopolitical landscape involves intricate relationships between various stakeholders, including Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, amidst fears regarding nuclear proliferation and regional instability.
