Comparing’s Trump and Obama’s Iran deals, what we know: ANALYSIS
Summary
President Donald Trump recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran focused on ending the current war and restarting talks on Iran's nuclear program. This new agreement is different from President Obama's 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), which was a detailed pact to limit Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The current deal is more like a cease-fire with a future 60-day negotiation planned for a nuclear agreement.Key Facts
