前总统巴拉克·奥巴马分享了他对唐纳德·特朗普总统处理伊朗问题的看法,他最近表示,他对取得真正进展持怀疑态度。
奥巴马与“早安美国“周六,在川普宣布美国和伊朗已经达成协议的前一天,共同主持人罗宾·罗伯茨达成协议这将重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,结束美国的海上封锁。
这笔交易的具体细节仍不清楚。一名高级政府官员周五告诉记者,这将重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,并导致伊朗核计划的“拆除”,以及美国获得伊朗的高浓缩铀。
预期的协议是在特朗普退出美国与伊朗之前的核协议(由奥巴马政府在2015年领导)八年后达成的,特朗普在退出时将该协议描述为“有史以来最糟糕的协议”。
在周六宣布新协议之前的采访中,奥巴马告诉罗伯茨,他“怀疑”特朗普政府提出的与伊朗的任何协议都会与他的政府在2015年达成的协议“明显不同”。
奥巴马在芝加哥奥巴马总统中心接受采访时对罗伯茨说:“令人怀疑的是,达成的任何协议都会与我们最初达成的协议有很大不同,或者比我们在美国退出之前已经努力了很长时间的协议有很大改善。”。

奥巴马还表示希望该地区的战斗能够结束,并敦促决策者将外交优先于军事行动。
“我希望轰炸停止,普通人不再因战争而受苦,”他继续说道。“然后回想起来,这提醒我们,在许多困难的外交政策问题上,我们可以通过恐吓或轰炸来解决问题的想法有时可能看起来很有吸引力,但事实是,花时间探索外交,用尽达成协议的可能性,这些协议不能解决100%的问题,但可以解决80%或90%的问题,同时避免战争的必要性。”
“你可能认为我们现在已经吸取了教训,”他继续说道。"但似乎我们时常需要重新学习这一课."
特朗普于2月28日首次宣布对伊朗采取“重大作战行动”,美以联合打击目标是军事、政府和基础设施场所。
在最初的停火和4月份美国-伊朗在巴基斯坦的谈判失败后,随着停火的延长,谈判继续进行。
特朗普6月14日在社交媒体上宣布达成新协议后,伊朗外交部副部长Kazem Gharibabadi证实,该协议已经敲定,并表示将于周五在瑞士签署。
Gharibabadi在对伊朗国家媒体的一份声明中说:“我们所有的立场和重要问题都包括在谅解草案中。”
Obama says 'doubtful' that any Iran deal will be different than past
Former PresidentBarack Obamais sharing his thoughts on President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran, saying recently that he is skeptical that real progress will be made.
Obama spoke with “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts on Saturday, one day prior to Trump’s announcement that the United States and Iran hadreached a dealthat would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade.
The exact points of the deal remain unclear. A senior administration official told reporters Friday that it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lead to "the dismantling" of Iran's nuclear program and the U.S. getting Iran's highly enriched uranium.
The expected deal comes eight years after Trump withdrew the U.S. from a previous nuclear agreement with Iran – led by the Obama administration in 2015 – that Trump described at the time of withdrawal as the “worst deal ever.”
In the interview Saturday, ahead of the new deal being announced, Obama told Roberts that he was “doubtful” any deal with Iran put forward by the Trump administration would be “significantly different” from the 2015 deal that his administration put in place.
"It 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 and had worked for, for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pulled out of it," Obama told Roberts in the interview, which took place at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
Tune into “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, June 17, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on ABC for more of Robin Roberts’ interview with former President Barack Obama.
Obama also expressed hope that the fighting in the region would come to an end and urged policymakers to prioritize diplomacy over military action.
"I'm hopeful that bombing stops and ordinary people are no longer suffering as a consequence of the war," he continued. "Then in retrospect it's a reminder that on a lot of difficult foreign policy problems -- the notion that we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solutions -- may sometimes seem appealing, but the fact of the matter is that taking the time to explore diplomacy and exhaust the possibilities of coming up with deals that don't solve 100% of the problem but solve 80%, 90% of the problem while avoiding the necessity of going to war."
"You'd think we would've learned that lesson by now," he continued. "But it seems like every so often we have to relearn that lesson again."
Trump first announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
After an initial ceasefire and unsuccessful U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April, negotiations continued as the ceasefire was extended.
Following Trump’s June 14 announcement on social media that a new deal had been reached, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed the deal had been finalized and said it would be signed in Switzerland on Friday.
"All of our positions and important issues are included in the draft understanding," Gharibabadi said in a statement to Iranian state media.
