Former President Barack Obama sharply criticized the emerging US-Iran deal, saying the US has returned to a status quo with Iran that is worse than before, according to a statement circulating Saturday morning.
Former US President Barack Obama criticized the emerging agreement with Iran, stating that the United States has returned to a status quo with Iran that is only worse than before the current conflict. His remarks, circulated Saturday morning, come amid a heated debate over US-Iran policy. This follows earlier criticism by Democratic Senator Jack Reed, who said the emerging deal is worse than Obama's 2015 JCPOA, and former President Trump, who has accused Democrats of downplaying Iran's weakened state.
The Zioneer previously reported Senator Reed's Thursday remarks and President Trump's Friday statements arguing the war has left Iran crippled. Obama's intervention adds a prominent Democratic voice to the debate, framing the current trajectory as a regression rather than progress.
