Obama Offers His Perspective On A Potential Iran DealIn an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” former President Barack Obama called out the likely limitations of any potential deal with Iran. “It 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,” Obama said in a conversation set to air on Wednesday. Obama added he was hopeful that the bombing would stop and that ordinary people would no longer be harmed by the U.S. war on Iran. He also noted that the conflict provided a lesson in the importance of diplomacy.“It’s 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," Obama said. "But the fact of the matter is, is that taking the time to explore diplomacy and exhaust the possibilities of coming up with deals that don't solve 100% of the problem, but solve 80-90% of the problem while avoiding the necessity of going to war, you’d think we would have learned that lesson by now.” On Sunday, Trump announced that an agreement had been reached with Iran, but provided few specifics.
