It might have just been the whiplash from a Bush Admin to Obama, but he was very quickly making a lot of friends in the Middle East.

By 8 months in he had already begun a slow strategic withdrawal from Iraq and helped negotiate disarmament with Iran, alongside 6 other nations who wished for Iran disarmament. Although after Obama received his prize Iran talked about producing more enriched Uranium again in November and the Nuclear Disarmament deal wasn't signed until 2015.

The fact that Trump dismantled the treaty just goes to show, again, that it's not something anyone could do.
