From Diplomacy to War: How the Iran Nuclear Deal Collapse Led to 2026

Note: This episode was recorded the evening of Monday, March 2, 2026. The situation is changing quickly, so some details may have developed further since recording. A new episode is dropping this evening 3/4 with an update.

How did the United States and Iran go from nuclear diplomacy to open war? In this episode of We Saw the Devil, Robin walks through the timeline that led to the 2026 US–Iran conflict. From the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) to Operation Epic Fury, she breaks down the decisions, escalations, and failed diplomacy that pushed two countries toward direct conflict. Because wars rarely start with the first bomb. They usually start years earlier.

In This Episode:
  • The roots of US–Iran tension, from the 1953 coup to the 1979 Iranian Revolution
  • What the JCPOA nuclear deal actually did
  • Why the US leaving the deal in 2018 changed the trajectory
  • Iran’s proxy network across the Middle East
  • The 2025 protests inside Iran and the violent crackdown that followed
  • The diplomatic breakdown leading into 2026
  • Operation Epic Fury and the strike campaign against Iran
  • Iran’s retaliation across the region, including Israel, Lebanon, and Gulf states
  • The growing risk of a wider Middle East war and energy crisis
