During their discussion Hegseth admitted something that totally contradicts what Trump has been lying about for years with regard to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/2009-2017.state.gov\/documents\/organization\/245317.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action<\/a><\/strong> (JCPOA) negotiated by the Obama administration to halt Iran&#8217;s nuclear aspirations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Hegseth:<\/strong> Obama begged Iran for a deal. We bombed Iran, and then put in a blockade&#8230;The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won&#8217;t seek one, won&#8217;t buy one, won&#8217;t have one.<br \/>\n<strong>Brennan:<\/strong> JCPOA said that too.<br \/>\n<strong>Hegseth:<\/strong> But they didn&#8217;t have the threat of military force the way that we do&#8230;and that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re at the table. The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength. Trump led with military might.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mob66a77v22a\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreihp6ybpzny3vvg6rwardfhlzoabu7n7frclr6vn4ekray47kviake\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Trump&#39;s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, admits Obama got Iran to agree to never have nuclear weapons (which Trump denies and lies about).Then Hegseth said the difference is Trump did it with military force (costing billions and killing thousands), while Obama did it through diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3mob66a77v22a?ref_src=embed\">2026-06-14T16:16:30.812Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Hegseth is actually conceding that the Obama deal secured Iran&#8217;s commitment to cease all of their nuclear weapons programs. That&#8217;s something that Trump has repeatedly said wasn&#8217;t true. Never mind that the very first paragraph of the JCPOA says that <em>&#8220;Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What Hegseth describes as the difference between the confirmed Obama deal and Trump&#8217;s more ambiguous and non-binding <em>&#8220;Memorandum of Understanding&#8221;<\/em> (MOU) is that Trump&#8217;s deal was obtained by military force and hyperbolic threats that TACO Trump kept reneging on. By contrast, Obama&#8217;s deal was secured through diplomacy, carried out by experienced negotiators, and verified by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency. None of which Trump&#8217;s team accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth implies that Trump&#8217;s hawkish warmongering is superior to Obama&#8217;s statesmanship, despite the fact that Obama got tangible results without spending billions of dollars and slaughtering thousands of innocent people. However, there are still no results whatsoever from Trump&#8217;s dealings after four months of a war that Trump said wouldn&#8217;t take more than a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin, was also on the Sunday morning media circuit, On Fox News <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\/post\/3mob6vnvgfs2a\" target=\"_blank\">he praised Trump<\/a><\/strong> because <em>&#8220;On his birthday he&#8217;s still working.&#8221;<\/em> Then he specifies what Trump is <em>&#8220;working&#8221;<\/em> on. Was it the Iran deal that was supposed to be signed imminently? Or lowering costs for gas, groceries, housing, or healthcare? Or anything else that the American people actually want or need?<\/p>\n<p>Nope. It&#8217;s his tacky and corrupt UFC birthday bash on the White House lawn.

Also, nothing indicates that the deal contains anything that wasn&#8217;t already in the Obama deal.
