    Other presidents may not have been directly bombes Iran but they would gives Israel the funding and equipment to attack It is still terrible . The usa did multiple military excerice specifically to attack Iran during Biden and Hillary also on tape talking about attacking Iran if at any phase of building nukes, she could easily use the same lie as Trump . No need to spread Obama statement that make him looks like he ever cared about Iranians.

        Intelligence agencies concluded in 2007 that Iran stopped its nuclear weaponization program in 2003. I don’t understand why people think the JCPOA was some sort of amazing achievement. Obama still kept the sanctions on the missile program. Without those missiles, Iran today may have already lost. He also allowed cyberattacks on Iran. The $38 billion over 10 years applied until 2028, effectively being used in the current war. He is better than Trump, but let’s not pretend that Obama was such a great president in terms of foreign policy.
