Former U.S. President Barack Obama has said that the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran was achieved without any loss of life. In an interview with CBS, Obama stated that the deal successfully removed a large portion of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, with both U.S. and Israeli intelligence supporting the outcome.

Obama emphasized that the agreement was completed without firing a missile and that 97 percent of Iran’s enriched uranium was removed. He added that there was no dispute about the deal’s effectiveness and that it did not require military confrontation or the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The remarks, reported by Al Jazeera, highlight Obama’s continued defense of the diplomatic approach taken during his administration to limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities through negotiation rather than force.
