Trump, during his first term as US President had withdrawn the US from the nuclear deal. The agreement had placed strict limits on Tehran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

Trump doubled down on threats against Iran and the Houthis in Yemen in a post on Truth Social on Monday, stating, "The choice for the Houthis is clear: Stop shooting at U.S. ships, and we will stop shooting at you. Otherwise, we have only just begun, and the real pain is yet to come, for both the Houthis and their sponsors in Iran.”
