Secy. of State John Kerry torches Trump's Iran deal, says it pales in comparison to Obama Iran deal

from Today Explained · host Today Explained

Former Secretary of State John Kerry strongly criticized President Donald Trump's new agreement with Iran, stating that it "pales in comparison" to the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Kerry argued that Trump's newly signed memorandum of understanding is fundamentally weaker than the 2015 nuclear accord, characterizing it as a desperate attempt by the administration to "dig itself out of a hole they dug themselves".

Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
