One of Donald Trump’s old tweets slamming a 2013 nuclear deal with Iran has resurfaced after the two countries signed a peace agreement this week.

In November 2013,Iran,the US and five other world powers signed an agreement in which Iran restricted its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.

Trump responded to the deal on X,then called Twitter,writing: ‘What a rotten deal we made with Iran. We get nothing (except laughter at our stupidity). They get everything,including delay and big cash!’

Similarities between the 2013 deal,seen as a major win for the second Barack Obama administration,and the most recent peace deal spearheaded by Trump are hard to ignore.

The 2013 deal briefly halted the progress of Iran’s nuclear programme and released $4,000,000 in frozen assets for the country.
