US President Donald Trump has been promoting what he describes as a new peace deal with Iran, as his administration highlights a tougher posture toward Tehran. Vice-President JD Vance said Iran’s nuclear programme has been “comprehensively destroyed,” framing the current approach as a decisive break from past diplomacy. Former President Barack Obama countered that any new agreement is unlikely to be “significantly different” from the 2015 deal his administration struck with Iran. The contrasting claims have revived debate over whether Trump’s strategy is fundamentally different from Obama’s or largely a reworked version of earlier terms. The report also examined how the two presidents have approached Iran policy and the prospects for a durable agreement.
