The emerging reports indicate the U.S. team, led by Secretary of State John Kerry, gradually backed down over the course of the talks as Iran's delegation dug in. The Wall Street Journal, citing current and former U.S. representatives at the discussions, claimed the White House had initially hoped to persuade Iran to dismantle much of the country's nuclear infrastructure when talks started in late 2013, only to be told categorically that Iran would not do so.

We are not to be seen as a superpower from now on.

"Our work is not yet done," Obama said in a Rose Garden speech Thursday, after promising, "If Iran cheats, the world will know it."

“...to be told categorically that Iran would not do so.”

THAT’S when you walk out.

[BenLurkin]

Correct, because after that — you’re just negotiating against yourself.

Wow, we surrendered even before they built the nukes. Pansys make weak Presidents. I wonder how many Americans will burn to death so our leaders can feel accomplished.

The only Plan was to remove Sanctions from Iran no matter what ,the negotiations were just a smoke screen . it’s amazing the EU fell for it

The agreement will make Neville Chamberlain’s capitulation to Hitler look honorable.
