Obama says Trump's Iran deal framework would deliver less than the 2015 nuclear pact he negotiated

BBC—Barack Obama warned it is 'doubtful' Trump's Iran framework will differ meaningfully from the 2015 nuclear agreement Trump himself canceled, saying the U.S. cannot 'bomb' its way to a lasting Iran deal. The 60-day ceasefire extension leaves nuclear weapons, sanctions relief, and Lebanon entirely unresolved. Defense Secretary Hegseth insisted the Trump deal is fundamentally different from Obama's; Senate Republicans demanded a role in reviewing and potentially ratifying the agreement.
