Former President Barack Obama has defended the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, asserting that any replacement negotiated under the Trump administration is unlikely to be an improvement. Obama suggested that pursuing a comprehensive agreement encompassing all of Washington’s demands could escalate tensions and increase the risk of military conflict. He argued that a less-than-perfect deal is preferable to no deal at all, prioritizing the avoidance of war with Iran. His comments come amid ongoing debate over the future of the Iran nuclear program and the potential for renewed negotiations. The former president’s remarks reflect a concern that abandoning diplomatic efforts could have dangerous consequences for regional stability. He implied that a pragmatic approach, even with compromises, remains the most responsible path forward.
