The JCPOA kept Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It was only the abrogation of this agreement by Trump which led Iran to resume enrichment of uranium.

So, how do I actually set this for my Mac, or is this something which each application may or may not do?

The U.S. didn't invade Ukraine.

We gave Ukraine a lot of old stuff from our stockpiles and bought new stuff for ourselves.
