BOOM! President Trump CONFIRMS his Iran proposal is NOTHING like Hussein Obama's failed nuclear deal

Iran's not getting ANYTHING unless and until the nuclear threat is 100% sealed.

"Don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about."

Why Conservatives Like Victor Davis Hanson Thought Obama's 2015 Iran Deal Was a Disaster

Many conservatives, including historian Victor Davis Hanson, believed President Obama's 2015 nuclear deal with Iran (called the JCPOA) was a very bad agreement. They said it made it easier for Iran to build nuclear weapons in the future.

Here is why they thought it was a disaster:

1. It gave Iran money right away. The deal lifted tough economic sanctions. This let Iran get back billions of dollars. Conservatives said Iran used this money to build missiles, support terrorists, and strengthen its power in the Middle East.
2. It let Iran keep its nuclear equipment. Instead of tearing down Iran's nuclear program completely, the deal allowed Iran to keep many machines for making nuclear fuel. Critics said this was like letting a troublemaker keep his tools.
3. Time limits (sunset clauses). Many rules in the deal would end after 10 or 15 years. After that, Iran could legally build up its nuclear program again and get very close to making bombs. Hanson and others called this a "countdown to a nuclear Iran." [](grok_render_citation_card_json={"cardIds":["78bb00","da28da"]})
4. Weak inspections. The deal did not give inspectors full, surprise access to all sites. Iran could delay visits, which made it easier to hide secret work.
5. It ignored other problems. The agreement did not stop Iran from building ballistic missiles or helping terrorist groups. Conservatives argued the U.S. gave up too much power without solving the full threat. [](grok_render_citation_card_json={"cardIds":["78f342"]})
6. It rewarded bad behavior. Victor Davis Hanson said the deal was like giving in to a bully. It showed weakness and encouraged Iran to keep causing trouble instead of changing its ways. He believed it made war more likely later. [](grok_render_citation_card_json={"cardIds":["317fd9"]})

In short: Conservatives believed the deal did not dismantle Iran's nuclear program. Instead, it gave Iran money, time, and international approval. This paved the road for Iran to become a nuclear power once the deal's limits expired.

They argued a better approach would be to keep strong pressure on Iran until it fully gave up its dangerous nuclear goals.

Based on views from Victor Davis Hanson and other conservative critics.

Grok said of the OP post:

• @QAaronmaga highlights President Trump's May 24, 2026 Truth Social statement distinguishing his ongoing Iran nuclear negotiations from Obama's 2015 JCPOA, stressing Iran receives no sanctions relief until its nuclear program is verifiably dismantled.
• The attached Fox News clip shows Trump's post thanking Middle East allies and Abraham Accords nations for support while keeping the Strait of Hormuz blockade in place, framing talks as "orderly" and "constructive" versus the prior deal.

Bang. Boom. Bang or boom. Both work.

[griswold3]

I willing pay these prices only with the idea Iran is under such pressure that they could collapse any time. (Where are the Protesters? Is this gonna be like Iraq? Multitudes with “Inshallah” ? ) stand up

[Salman]

This is good, but the goal must remain of getting rid of the "Islamic Republic" regime.

And the Saudi etc who are our allies in the region won't mind because Ayatollahs are Shiites (the wrong kind of Muslim to the Saudi etc).

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The longer this drags on, the less it's like winning.

[Time_Has_Come]

Multitudes did stand up. Here is how the events unfolded:

PDJT pushed for the “trigger mechanism” in the UN. The way it was drafted, China and Russia could not veto. Third party sanctions kicked in. Iranian currency collapsed. Merchants shut down because, due to inflation, they could not replace inventory without losing money.

Protests started in the bazaar (which was historically a stronghold of the Ayatollahs, particularly in 1979). They spread everywhere.

Then, the son of the late Shah asked his supporters to go to the streets. They did. Millions came, as far as the eye could see, streets were filled with protesters. Within two days, the regular crowd suppression forces were overwhelmed.

The crowds burned mosques and police stations and TV stations. Where they got a hold of an IRGC, they handed out well-deserved street justice. I thought Iran would be free within days.

But the rulers of Iran had planned and prepared for this. Using Afghan and Arab mercenaries, as well as their own hard-core elements, in a coordinated attack in 400 cities, they opened fire on protesters. They went to hospitals and executed the wounded. The arrested would-be blood donors and surgeons rendering aid.

In two days, 30,000 to 40,000 Iranians perished. Thousands disappeared. It took fire trucks two weeks to hose down the blood out of the streets. On the second day, PDJT sent a tweet and said “Help is On its way.”

When the bombing began, Iranians were told to stay put, and wait for the green light to go out to the streets to get their country back.

But the green light never came. PDJT ordered a cease fire, and began negotiating with Ayatollah Khamenie II.

Meanwhile, the rulers of Iran brought in more Arab, Afghan, and even African mercenaries and paraded them around in the streets to demoralize the people.

And that is how things sit right now.

[Ge0ffrey]

Help did come.

[Time_Has_Come]

You are correct. Help did come. Tens of Millions of Iranians were elated to see Khamenei, Shamkhani, and Larijani killed off.

But PDJT told Iranians to stay put, to wait for the bombing to stop, and for a green light to take their country back. The bombing stopped but the green light never came. Instead, PDJT started negotiating with Qalibaf, one of the most loathsome and treacherous human beings on earth.

Who is Qalibaf? The name literally means “carpet weaver.” But he is far more disgusting than a hapless day craftsman.

During the Iran-Iraq war, he became an IRGC general while in his early 20s. He did so by sending child soldiers over minefields.

Later, as a regional security chief, he collected protection money from opium smugglers. Those who did not pay were arrested. Those who paid got unfettered passage.

By 2002, he was security chief in the capital. In the student uprising, his goons threw student protesters out of 3rd and 4th floor dorm windows. He later gleefully boasted about this.

As mayor of Tehran, he usurped a portion of the metro construction budget to build a personal slush fund, hiring 2,000 thugs to rough up protesters, political opponents, and any IRGC power figures he deemed a threat.

He is so hated that even in Iran’s uber-corrupt elections, after four tries, he could not become president.

As speaker of the parliament, he routinely called parliament members on the floor to chant “Death to America!”

Along the way, he somehow go a pilot’s license. He personally flew a passenger plane loaded with cash to Lebanon to bypass US sanctions and grease politicians and fund Hezbollah.

Even as he sent his fat loser flunkie sons abroad to cavort with western women, he proclaimed “we must learn from the Houthis, who possess only a loincloth, but bravely fight against global Zionism.”

Ironically, even this bucket of human trash was deemed too moderate by the rulers of Iran. He was removed from his post as negotiator.

I just hope PDJT understands that these savages have not a single honest bone in their body.

Boom. Pow. Zap. Remember the old batman comics? This time is realer than 5 minutes ago when Trump said the complete opposite. At least 50D Chess for sure! Anyone falling for this stuff still?

Lol...Fox News.

I remember sending one of my children a tv a few decades ago for emergency situations because she doesn’t watch tv. Last yr one of my kids sent me a 55” tv and it sat there in the box for 4 months. I couldn’t decide if I should donate it but I ended up taking it out of the box last month because I got sick of looking at the box. I can’t even force myself to put the batteries in the remote or plug the tv in the socket.

First time in world history that the military victor allowed the loser to continue in power and begged the loser for a deal.
