Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Obama Adviser Rice Blasts 'Flimsy' Iran Deal
Caption: Obama Adviser Rice Blasts ‘Flimsy’ Iran Deal. Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice has sharply criticized the Trump administration’s preliminary agreement with Iran, calling it a “flimsy” deal that grants too many concessions. Rice argued the agreement gives Iran major economic benefits before securing firm commitments on key nuclear issues. She said the deal allows Iran to regain access to oil markets and frozen assets without clear restrictions on how the money can be used. Rice also described the conflict with Iran as a “strategic blunder,” saying the war cost American lives, damaged the economy and weakened U.S. standing abroad. The former adviser helped negotiate the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement under President Barack Obama, which placed strict limits on Iran’s nuclear activities. She argued the earlier deal included stronger safeguards, such as limits on uranium enrichment and extensive international inspections. Rice warned that unresolved issues in the new agreement leave uncertainty over Iran’s nuclear programme and future regional influence. Her comments come as Vice President JD Vance continues defending the agreement against criticism from both U.S. and Israeli opponents.
