Answer 1

The correct answer is The United States of America.

Key Points

The United States of America withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in May 2018.
The JCPOA was an agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers (the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, China, plus Germany) along with the European Union.
The deal aimed to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
The withdrawal by the US led to the re-imposition of stringent sanctions on Iran, which had significant global geopolitical and economic implications.
