In May 2007, the Iranian Government charged and in some cases imprisoned a handful of innocent Iranian-American scholars, civil society actors, and journalists, accused by the regime of jeopardizing the security of the state. The international community, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private citizens joined the U.S. Government in calling for the release of the detained dual nationals, as well as Iranian cooperation in the case of missing retired FBI agent Robert Levinson, last reported on Kish Island, Iran, on March 8, 2007.

===Iranian nuclear deal===
:{{See also|Iranian nuclear deal}}
The Iranian nuclear deal or the [[Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]] (JCPOA) was a failed [[diplomatic]] agreement by the Obama administration negotiated by [[John Kerry]] to help Iran get 150 billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money and American banks. Iran then used this money for terrorism.
Then-President [[Obama]] said the joint agreement put Iran on the path of having [[nuclear weapons]] in 13 years. Obama finalized the agreement on January 21, 2016 when he signed [[Executive Order]] 13716.
The deal supposedly limited Iran's uranium enrichment, but it did not stop Iranian support of terrorist groups like the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], [[Hamas]] and [[Hezbollah]]. It also did not address Iran's expansionist ambitions in the [[Middle East]].
