Aside from the fact that Obama’s deal would expire and Trumps includes an indefinite limit on nukes. What matters more than pieces of paper is that Trump blew up Irans air defense and military infrastructure which sets back their deterrence timeline by 5-10 years. Which is the only things that matters because conventional deterrence is what gives them room to build a nuke. The other key difference is Trump has turned basically every other middle eastern country into an alliance against Iran and has stated plans for the US to withdraw from the region. This is not a secret. It’s been on the White House website for at least a year. (See link in replies) Not only that but now Iran needs our allies for the rebuild, which forces them to actually accept our conditions. By the time Iran recovers we will have an entirely different Middle East.





Of course, the usual suspects will compare any Iran deal to Obama's. It's honestly irrelevant, given how Obama's was set to sunset by now anyways and solely addressed a 3.5% enrichment cap. Let's wait for the actual framework to come out before we make any comparisons.
