But after Donald Trump entered the White House in January 2017 (December 2016) and after a few preliminary steps, finally by taking positions contrary to Borjam, with the unilateral and illegal withdrawal of the United States from this agreement on May 8, 1397 (May 8, 2018), In two stages, its secondary sanctions against Iran were reinstated.

The unbalanced implementation of Borjam on the one hand and the pressures resulting from the application and intensification of unilateral US sanctions on the other hand, caused a year after the US withdrawal from Borjam, finally on May 8, 2019 (May 8, 2019) the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran Adopt core nuclear commitments by granting 60 days of diplomacy to step by step implement voluntary measures.
