Iranian Nuclear Deal Full Text
This is probably only marginally better than no agreement at all. Iran basically has the bomb now, and if this walks them back from that, it's a good thing. But the deal has problems. There is something called "managed access" to some of Iran's military nuclear facilities, which is probably code for we see what they want us to, Iran is free to pursue a ballistic missile program, and the military and weapons sanctions against Iran will be lifted almost immediately.
Of course, Iran will probably not hold up their end of the deal beyond the date that sanctions are lifted anyway. It would be almost impossible to reinstate sanctions as tough as are in place now if Iran breaks the agreement, and they know it. They learned much from Saddam Hussein, much more than we did. They can play three card monte for years.
