In an interview with ABC News, Obama indicated any new agreement would problably resemble the Joint Extensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which Trump withdrew from in 2018. He emphasized that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-andrew-cuomo-offered-to-drop-plans-to-run-for-fourth-term-if-legislature-drops-impeachment\/\" title=\"Report: Andrew Cuomo Offered To Drop Plans To Run For Fourth Term If Legislature Drops Impeachment\">proposed deal<\/a> might not be an advancement over the previous one, which he believes worked well before the U.S. pulled out.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump claims that negotiations with Tehran are in their final stages and that any deal he makes will be stronger than the Obama-era framework, highlighting that no money will exchange hands under his proposed agreement. Trump also criticized the previous deal for its large payments to Iran, including $1.7 billion in cash.<\/p>\n<p>Obama advocates for diplomacy, stating it is vital for addressing Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, and cautions that military force alone has limits. Conversely, Trump and his defence officials argue that their approach, including military pressure and sanctions, has been effective in forcing Iran to come to the negotiating table. They assert that their <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >strategy involves leverage gained<\/a> through military actions, such as bombing and blockades, to secure better terms in negotiations. The proposed deal would see Iran agree to cease all nuclear activities and engage with the U.S. to eliminate remaining uranium stockpiles.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/barack-obama\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"360\">Barack Obama<\/a> said it is \u201cdoubtful\u201d that President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> emerging agreement with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> will differ significantly from the 2015 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran-nuclear-deal\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2109\">nuclear deal<\/a> negotiated during his administration. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to ABC News\u2019s Robin Roberts in an interview preview released Sunday, Obama said any agreement reached by the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"339\">Trump administration<\/a> would likely resemble the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the multinational accord Trump withdrew from during his first term.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4607997\/trump-israel-beirut-strike-iran-peace-deal\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump rips Israel for striking Beirut on \u2018special day\u2019: \u2018Should not have happened\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4607922\/israel-beirut-strike-trump-iran-deal\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Israel says it targeted Hezbollah in Beirut as Trump looks to secure Iran deal<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4607921\/iran-war-peace-deal-trump-80th-birthday\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Iran reviews US <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-one-in-six-biden-voters-would-have-changed-their-vote-if-they-had-known-about-scandals-suppressed-by-media\/\" title=\"Poll: One In Six Biden Voters Would Have Changed Their Vote If They Had Known About Scandals Suppressed By Media\">peace deal<\/a> as Trump hopes for end to war on 80th birthday<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had worked for for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pulled out of it,\u201d Obama said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments come as Trump says the U.S. is in the final stretch of finalizing an agreement with Tehran following months of military conflict and negotiations.

Trump withdrew the U.S. from the accord in 2018, calling it one of the worst agreements ever negotiated and reimposing sanctions on Tehran through a \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d campaign. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obama defended diplomacy as a tool for addressing Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions, saying the latest negotiations demonstrate the limits of military force alone. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn retrospect, it\u2019s a reminder that on a lot of difficult foreign policy problems, the notion that we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solutions may sometimes seem appealing,\u201d Obama said. \u201cThe fact of the matter is taking the time to explore diplomacy and exhaust the possibilities of coming up with deals that don\u2019t solve 100% of the problem, but solve 80%, 90% of the problem, while avoiding the necessity of going to war, you\u2019d think we would have learned that lesson by now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration has rejected the comparison between the emerging agreement and the JCPOA.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-hegseth\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1991\">Pete Hegseth<\/a> argued Sunday that the key distinction is the leverage Trump created through military action against Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe bombed Iran and then put in a blockade and then ran ships through and then have restarted when necessary to ensure that they come to the table for a great deal,\u201d Hegseth said. \u201cThat\u2019s the big difference between this and JCPOA and the way Obama did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hegseth said the administration negotiated \u201cfrom a position of strength\u201d and pledged to maintain military pressure on Tehran as talks continue. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/4606264\/white-house-report-card-40-times-iran-peace-deal-close\/\"><strong>WHITE HOUSE REPORT CARD: 40 TIMES TRUMP HAS SAID AN IRAN PEACE DEAL IS CLOSE.
