That deal saw Iran agreeing to limit its nuclear program, in exchange for an easing of sanctions put in place by the United States and the UN. President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Obama discussed the withdrawal and subsequent war with Iran in an interview with ABC\u2018s Robin Roberts on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The former president, who led a large troop surge in Afghanistan and massively expanded the U.S. drone warfare program, said that the US can\u2019t \u201cbomb [its] way\u201d to foreign policy solutions.
