Obama Says Trump Iran Deal Will Not Improve on His Pact

Obama said any new U.S.-Iran agreement is unlikely to improve on the 2015 nuclear pact and urged diplomacy over war.

  • In an ABC News interview released Sunday, former President Barack Obama stated that any potential deal between President Donald Trump and Iran will likely mirror the 2015 nuclear pact, calling it "doubtful" to mark a "significant improvement."
  • Obama's administration negotiated the original 2015 nuclear accord 11 years ago, which imposed restrictions on Iran's nuclear program for sanctions relief; Trump withdrew the United States from that agreement in 2018, launching a "maximum pressure" campaign on Tehran.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued Sunday that military pressure forced Iran to the negotiating table, while Obama cautioned that Washington cannot "just bully our way or bomb our way to solutions" instead of engaging in comprehensive diplomacy.
  • Trump claimed a deal could be signed Sunday to block Iran's nuclear capabilities and open the Strait of Hormuz, though Tehran has not confirmed it will sign, stating there is "no point" in current talks.
  • Obama suggested that negotiating deals solving 80% or 90% of a problem is preferable to war, noting the current difficulties serve as a reminder to prioritize diplomacy over military force.
