Outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday praised the nuclear deal between Iran and Western powers, a year after it went into effect, claiming it “made the world safer”.

In a statement, Obama claimed the challenges the U.S. faces today would be much worse without the nuclear agreement.

He said the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) “has achieved significant, concrete results in making the United States and the world a safer place”, according to The Hill.

Obama stressed that Iran’s nuclear program “faces strict limitations and is subject to the most intrusive inspection and verification program ever negotiated to monitor a nuclear program.” …

Yeah, now it’s about as safe as a meat lover’s pizza in front of me.

LOL! I can relate - I usually get the Walmart Supreme and add extra pepperoni, salami and mozzarella - I claim it's to get some extra vegetables.

...praised the nuclear deal between Iran and Western powers, a year after it went into effect, claiming it “made the world safer”.

Complete and utter BS. It released billions in frozen assets to a state known to support terrorism worldwide. It did not restrict ballistic missile technology or development - one of the most threatening and destabilizing areas of military technology - at all. It paved the way for Iran continue developing it's nuclear technology and capability under a guise of peaceful R&D.

In short, there is/was absolutely nothing positive about this "deal" (aka capitulation) at all. Nothing.
