THE “KEY parameters” for an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program released Thursday fall well short of the goals originally set by the Obama administration. None of Iran’s nuclear facilities — including the Fordow center buried under a mountain — will be closed. Not one of the country’s 19,000 centrifuges will be dismantled. Tehran’s existing stockpile of enriched uranium will be “reduced” but not necessarily shipped out of the country. In effect, Iran’s nuclear infrastructure will remain intact, though some of it will be mothballed for 10 years. When the accord lapses, the Islamic Republic will instantly become a threshold nuclear state.
That’s a long way from the standard set by President Obama in 2012 when he declared that “the deal we’ll accept” with Iran “is that they end their nuclear program” and “abide by the U.N. resolutions that have been in place.”
Both Mr. Obama and Secretary of State John F. Kerry emphasized that many details need to be worked out in talks with Iran between now and the end of June. During that time, the administration will have much other work to do: It must convince Mideast allies that Iran is not being empowered to become the region’s hegemon; and it must accommodate Congress’s legitimate prerogative to review the accord. We hope Mr. Obama will make as much effort to engage in good faith with skeptical allies and domestic critics as he has with the Iranian regime.

According to Mark Levin, the Iranian foreign minister tweeted, essentially, that Obama is blowing smoke and that the Iranians have not agreed to anything that Obama claimed today in his speech.
et tu WaPo !?
I can almost see the negotiations now..

we demand to have santions removed!
ok
we demand.... um..
ok
Obama then comes out and declares, WE HAVE A DEAL!
LIAR! we demand .... more!
ok
However, if anyone has watched the “Lego Movie” They would know that Obama is President Octan and “EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!” //sarc//
Wow WaPo.
Yeah, but they promised to nuke us last.
Even the Post hates it. It’s bad, bad, bad, and will lead directly to war.
“We hope Mr. Obama will make as much effort to engage in good faith with skeptical allies and domestic critics as he has with the Iranian regime.”
Not a chance. And it seems that WaPo already realizes this.
It’s a hoot to watch the Post supposedly take him on, displaying a misunderstand what his goals were in the first place.
He attained HIS goals.
So the Post seeking to actually take him on, just confuses everyone on the issue. I guess I shouldn’t misunderstand it’s goals either. They were attained here.
Misdirection, confusion, chaos... (it’s the Leftist grab bag of tricks)
The Iran deal has zero provisions to prevent Israel’s destruction from a nuclear attack. We don’t call him Zer0 for nothing.
when the obama stenographers at the wacompost admit what a crap deal it is that’s saying something...

The Ceasar’s wife before Claudius became emperor
Thanks.
Livia was who I meant.
This charade is meaningless....They didn’t announce a deal. ...In fact, they didn’t even announce an agreement. ....at best they only have confirmation that negotiations will continue. ...For Tehran it means continued sanctions relief, and for the Obama it means his diplomacy cannot yet be judged a failure..... Just goes to show the measure of how low Obama has set the bar for diplomatic progress...
So no there isn't a deal, but Obama has just shown the world how desperate he is for one...and Iran knows it!
