Trump rips Obama's Iran policy in address to nation
Trump on Wednesday accused the Obama administration of providing funding to Iran that facilitated the country's missile strikes a day earlier against Iraqi bases that house U.S. forces.
"The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration," Trump said in prepared remarks from the Grand Foyer of the White House.

The $150 billion amounted to Iranian assets that were unfrozen as part of the sanctions relief included in the deal. The $1.8 billion was paid because of undelivered military equipment from the U.S. to Iran in the 1970s, according to a fact check by The Associated Press.
The president has made undoing Obama's legacy a significant part of his administration, with the JCPOA a key part of that effort. Trump repeatedly railed against the pact before withdrawing from it in 2018 against the urging of foreign leaders who viewed it as a sufficient safeguard that could be improved.

Obama lives rent free in Trump's otherwise empty head.
