Trump Criticizes Obama Over Iran Deal
Evian-les-Bains, France,Thu Jun 18 2026
During a meeting at the G7 summit in France, Trump claimed that some Iranian officials insulted Barack Obama.
He said they called Obama a “stupid son of a bitch” after the 2015 agreement.
Trump argued that Obama could not have secured a better deal with Iran.
The former president pointed to a $1. 7 billion payment the U. S. made to Iran in 2016.
He insisted that the money was unrelated to the deal, but critics question its timing.
Trump said Iranian leaders laughed when they saw a plane full of cash arrive in Iran.
He described the reaction as disbelief and mockery toward Obama’s role.
Now Trump says he will reopen the Strait of Hormuz if a new deal is not honored.
He warns that further air strikes could happen if the agreement fails to work.
The situation remains uncertain, with tensions high between the U. S. and Iran.
