Trump Criticizes 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, Alleges Cash Transfer to Iran
At the G7 summit in Evian, US President Donald Trump criticized the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) negotiated under former President Barack Obama, alleging that the Obama administration transferred $1.7 billion in cash to Iran as part of the agreement. Trump claimed the payment was an attempted bribe that failed to secure Iranian goodwill, stating Iranian leaders mocked Obama despite the cash transfer. The JCPOA involved restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, but Trump withdrew the US from the deal in 2018, calling it unfavorable.
