Former President Barack Obama revealed in an upcoming interview that he doubts any new peace deal created between the U.S. and Iran would be significantly different from the preexisting ones.

Former President Barack Obama has weighed in on the possibility of a fresh U.S.-Iran peace deal being negotiated.

The former commander-in-chief, joined by his wife, former first lady Michelle, spoke with Robin Roberts for ABC's "Good Morning America" program.

In a preview clip from the interview, scheduled to broadcast on Wednesday, Obama expressed skepticism that any new peace deal between the U.S. and Iran would differ much from previous agreements.

"It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had worked for a long stretch of time, before we, the United States, pulled out of it."

Obama went on to say he is "hopeful" that the "bombing stops and ordinary people are no longer suffering as a consequence of the war," reports the Express US.

The former president also warned against rushing to "bully" or "bomb" other nations rather than pursuing diplomatic solutions.

"In retrospect, it's a reminder that on alot of different foreign policy problems, the notion that we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solutions may sometimes seem appealing but the fact of the matter is is that taking the time to explore diplomacy and exhaust the possibilities of coming up with deals that don't solve 100% of the problem but solve 80-90% of the problem, while avoiding the necessity of going to war."

"You'd think we would have learned that lesson by now, but it seems like every so often we have to re-learn that lesson again," Obama added.

The excerpt from the former president's upcoming interview comes amid significant diplomatic developments, as President Donald Trump and Iran secured a peace deal on Sunday evening.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed that the agreement would bring an immediate halt to all military operations between the U.S. and Iran, announcing the breakthrough on X.

"Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon," Sharif posted on X.
