What were the key aspects of the Trump administration's Iran deal?

The Trump administration made a new agreement with Iran that changed how they deal with each other.

Like a Playground Rule Change

Imagine you're on a playground, and your friend Iran is playing by some rules, like not jumping on the swings too hard or sharing toys. But then, your friend's teacher (the Trump administration) says, "We’re changing the rules!" They made new rules that mean Iran has to do more things, like letting inspectors check their work more often, and they have to wait longer before they can stop following those rules.

A New Deal, Like a Bigger Homework Assignment

The old deal (from the Obama years) was like getting a small homework assignment. The new deal is like getting a bigger one. Iran had to do more things, but they also got some new promises, like not having to wait as long before they could say they're done with their part of the deal.

It’s like if your teacher said, "You have to finish all your math problems and read an extra story, but you get to go to the park after."
