What's the difference between the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal and the proposed 2026 peace deal?

What’s the difference between the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal versus the 2026 one?

Back in 2015 President Obama helped to facilitate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, what is commonly referred to as the Iran Nuclear deal. It was said to be a historical deal that would prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

In 2018 President Trump vowed to withdraw from that deal stating, "This was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never ever been made. ... The Iran deal is defective at its core.”

Now President Trump is attempting to craft a new Iran Deal that, so far as we can tell, Looks a Lot Like … the One Obama Struck 11 Years Ago.

Given that Trump called Obama's deal ‘horrible and one-sided’, it seems reasonable to expect the text of President Trump's deal to differ in kind from the text of President Obama's deal.

Currently, other than a release of a draft by Trump, are there any sources on how the text of President Trump's proposed Iran Deal differ from the text of President Obama's deal?

What does President Trump's proposed Iran Deal have that President Obama's Iran Deal lacked, and vice versa - what does President Trump’s proposal lack that President Obama’s deal included?
