As predicted....Iran gets the weapons, Russia gets the cash...to fund Russian weapons.

This “deal” marks the beginning of the end of coercive American involvement in the region. It had been America’s stated policy that Iran must dismantle its nuclear infrastructure and never be permitted to have nuclear weapons.

Give the Iranians credit. They withstood the pressure and won.
