Introduction
In the June 25, 2025 episode of Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis, host Bill O’Reilly delves into the contentious issue surrounding former President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Iran nuclear deal. O’Reilly presents a detailed, fact-based examination of the accusations that Trump's exit from the deal has precipitated the current military confrontations with Iran.
Overview of the Iran Nuclear Deal
O’Reilly begins by revisiting the origins of the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He outlines how President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry brokered the agreement in 2015 with the aim of curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“President Obama and his secretary of state John Kerry secured a deal with the Muellers in 2015. Iran agreed to stop weaponizing uranium in return for $1.7 billion in frozen funding and other relief on sanctions.”

Trump’s Position and Actions
Transitioning to the Trump administration, O’Reilly highlights President Trump’s skepticism towards the JCPOA, asserting that Trump believed Iran was not adhering to the agreement's terms. He emphasizes Trump's criticisms and the rationale behind the U.S. withdrawal in 2018.
“President Trump believed Iran was cheating on a deal... [I]ran's military budget has grown by almost 40%, which was true.”
(00:45)
O’Reilly explains that Trump perceived the lifting of sanctions as a green light for Iran to escalate its military capabilities and influence in the region.
“After the sanctions were lifted, the dictatorship used its new funds to build nuclear capable missiles, support terrorism, cause havoc.”
(01:10)
He quotes Trump’s assessment of the deal’s deficiencies:
“The agreement was so poorly negotiated that even if Iran fully complies, the regime is still on the verge of a nuclear breakout in a short period of time.”
(01:30)
International Response
O’Reilly notes the international community's reaction to the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA. Contrary to Trump’s unilateral decision, key allies such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom chose to remain committed to the agreement, issuing a joint statement in disagreement with Trump's departure.
“The other countries involved with the nuke deal dissented and stayed in it. Germany, France and the UK issued a joint statement saying they disagree with Trump pulling out.”
(02:05)
Iran's Compliance and Violations
Addressing the subsequent developments, O’Reilly points to Iran’s non-compliance with the JCPOA as reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN’s weapons inspectors.
“In the latest report, the IAEA... says Iran has violated the agreement by enriching uranium from 3.6% to 60%.”
(02:25)
He attributes Iran's violations to the abuse of the financial aspects of the deal, asserting that the funds provided under Obama’s administration were misused to fuel Iran’s military advancements.
“Iran took the Obama money, abused the deal and now is causing havoc. That’s why Trump brought bomb them back in a moment.”
(02:45)
Economic Implications
Towards the conclusion of the content segment, O’Reilly briefly touches upon the broader economic challenges facing the United States, including rising national debt, ongoing trade wars, and China’s financial maneuvers.
“The US Economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.”

Bill O’Reilly wraps up the episode by reinforcing the narrative that Trump's decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal was a necessary response to Iran's non-compliance and the deal's inherent weaknesses. He underscores the importance of a fact-based approach to understanding international agreements and their ramifications.
“That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold... That is the morning O'Reilly update.”
