President Obama on Iran: ‘We pulled it off without firing a missile’
Obama said the 2015 agreement removed 97% of Iran’s enriched uranium and avoided military strikes, calling diplomacy the better option.
- Former President Barack Obama defended the 2015 Iran nuclear deal during an interview last month with Stephen Colbert at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
- The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action , negotiated during his second term, removed 97% of Iran's enriched uranium while curbing their nuclear program without military intervention.
- Obama argued the deal was working, noting that both Israeli and U.S. intelligence services agreed, and insisting diplomacy avoided shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
- President Donald Trump countered by withdrawing from the JCPOA in 2018, branding the agreement 'the worst of all time' while pursuing his own deal.
- Iran now maintains a stockpile of uranium enriched to 60%, far closer to 90% weapons-grade levels than the 4% limit the JCPOA established.
