Obama: People lack full info on Iran deal
US President Barack Obama tells CNN that much of the opposition to the Iran deal stems from ignorance to the substance of agreement.
Opposition to the deal stems from the fact that “people haven’t been getting all the information,” Obama says, adding that “if you look at the merits of the deal, you will conclude that it will cut off a pathway from Iran to a nuclear weapons.”
Obama also draws parallels between US domestic opponents to the the deal and Iran’s hardliners who also oppose the deal, stating that US opponents have an “ideological commitment” to stop an agreement.
