Obama on his nuclear negotiations with Iran

Further to our 39th ‘full circle’ on Obama-Iran nuclear negotiations nonsense I found a brief article on his version of events whilst America’s president on this Facebook :

‘Obama’s Iran “Success” Boils Down to This: Billions Handed Over While the Mullahs Kept Building Toward the Bomb

In a resurfaced CBS interview clip making the rounds amid the current chaos with Iran, former President Barack Obama pats himself on the back for the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal. Here’s the key part transcribed straight from the video:

“We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. They were able to maintain a modest civilian nuclear program for energy… So there’s no dispute that it worked, and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Obama continues: “Even Israeli intelligence thought it was working. Even our intelligence services thought it was working… There was some dispute that it didn’t work well. Our present president believed that it didn’t work, which is why he pulled out of it… It’s not clear he didn’t believe it didn’t work. He just said it didn’t work. Worst deal of all time. Yeah, because I did it.”

He adds that the deal wasn’t aimed at regime change or dismantling Iran’s military threats across the region.

Reality check: Obama shipped pallets of cash to the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism. The deal had sunset clauses that let Iran sprint toward nuclear weapons later. Tehran never stopped its missile program, proxy wars, or secret enrichment. Trump ripped it up for good reason. Iran ramped up enrichment dramatically after the U.S. exit, hitting levels that threatened the region and forced tough action.

Weak diplomacy didn’t stop the mullahs. It funded and emboldened them. Strength and maximum pressure keep America safe, not photo-op handshakes that leave enemies stronger. The current mess proves it.
