What happened

Why it matters

Common ground

"Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is.

report

Claim 1: “the one made by [44th US President Barack] Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of cash, and a clear and open path to a nuclear weapon”

MISLEADING

While the claim references the JCPOA (Obama's deal), the evidence from CFR and BBC describes it as a deal to limit Iran's nuclear program to prevent a weapon, rather than providing a 'clear and open path' to one. The claim presents a political interpretation/criticism of the deal as a factual outcome, which is contradicted by the stated purpose of the agreement in authoritative sources.
