Thanks.

It has to be plain to any and all that this agreement isn’t a bad deal, it quite simply does the opposite of what it is advertised to do. We agree to shelter Iran’s nuclear program from interference. We agree to defend it from anyone like Israel who may seek to interfere with it.

And we agree to fund it.

That's why I've never seen it as any kind of diplomatic "deal", negotiation of restraint or anything close - they've been working on a Memorandum of Understanding, a convergence of will between mutually agreeable parties in the pursuit of a mutual goal.
