Trump - Iran - Maximum Pressure

Episode 1 – “Maximum Pressure”
The series opens with Donald Trump’s hardline return to the Iran file and a sharp break from nuclear diplomacy. This episode explains the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in clear terms, then traces Trump’s 2018 withdrawal and the launch of the “maximum pressure” campaign. As sweeping sanctions squeeze Iran’s economy, Tehran responds by expanding uranium enrichment and signaling defiance. Tanker attacks, drone incidents, and near-miss military strikes push both sides toward open conflict, even as leaders insist they want to avoid war. The episode ends with a volatile new status quo: sanctions biting, forces on edge, and confrontation becoming the norm.
