Iran was honoring the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed by Iran and the United States, United Kingdom, France, China, Russia, and Germany, along with the European Union. Trump invalidated the deal by pulling the US out and re-imposing sanctions.

He did it just because Obama signed it and Bibi was against Iran. Iran has a right to develop nuclear energy for electricity generation. They can't keep burning diesel in a world that's going green.
