Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said President Trump 'went after' the 2015 Iran nuclear deal from the start of his campaign, describing it as an Obama accomplishment that motivated Trump to 'undo the Obama presidency.' Kerry argued Trump has 'undone his own' credibility by rushing to military action, according to a report on MS NOW/Clash Report.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry joined the chorus of Democratic criticism of President Trump's Iran policy, addressing the 2015 nuclear deal and its aftermath in remarks reported Monday. Kerry characterized Trump's opposition to the agreement — negotiated during the Obama administration — as a political act rooted in a campaign promise to dismantle his predecessor's legacy, rather than a substantive policy critique.
Kerry argued that Trump's pursuit of military confrontation with Iran, rather than diplomacy, has eroded his global credibility. 'I think he's undone his own by virtue of the rush to military action here and by the credibility that he has lost on a global basis,' Kerry stated.
The comments add a prominent Democratic voice to a growing debate over the emerging US-Iran agreement, with former President Barack Obama having previously criticized the deal's framework. As The Zioneer reported, Obama said the US had returned to a 'status quo' with Iran 'worse than before.' Trump has defended his approach as ensuring stability and a non-nuclear Iran.
