So you can pretty much assume it’s a bad deal for America.
Via Free Beacon:
Iran will immediately begin to see “targeted relief” from the economic sanctions as soon as the deal begins, according to Kerry.
“The $4.2 billion in restricted Iranian assets that Iran will gain access to as part of the agreement will be released in regular installments throughout the six months,” Kerry said in a statement. “The final installment will not be available to Iran until the very last day.”
The White House is refusing to release the official text of the nuclear deal, despite requests from reporters and members of Congress.
“I urge the White House to publicly release the text of the implementation agreement with #Iran for all to review,” Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) tweeted on Sunday.

The agreement has yet to be finalized.

Oh yeah, we have to finalize it to see what's in it.
Damn, that sounds familiar.
You do understand what a 'negotiation' is, don't you? Or are you just being difficult?
Perhaps you would prefer that we just start another meaningless war instead of negotiate a peaceful solution?

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted Wednesday that the Obama administration mischaracterizes Iran's concessions in the nuclear deal, telling CNN's Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto in an exclusive interview that "we did not agree to dismantle anything."
As part of the deal, Iran was required to dilute its stockpile of uranium that had been enriched to 20%, well above the 5% level needed for power generation but still below the level for developing a nuclear weapon.
In addition, the deal mandated that Iran halt all enrichment above 5% and "dismantle the technical connections required to enrich above 5%," according to a White House fact sheet issued in November after the initial agreement was reached.
Zarif accused the Obama administration of creating a false impression with such language.

Perhaps a bit of perspective is in order.
We have something like 1800 deployed nuclear warheads. Within half an hour, we could reduce the entire nation of Iran to a smoking pile of radioactive glass, and cremate 90% of its population. Our allies-the UK and France- possess over 400 warheads between them and are also capable of destroying Iran. Israel also has about 300 warheads. I guess I am not seeing why we cant continue negotiating. Its obvious who has the upper hand, and the reality is that Iran will never pose a threat to us.

They obviously enjoy making Obama look like a bumbling idiot.
Via Weekly Standard:
The head of an Iranian nuclear organization, Ali Akbar, says the “entire nuclear activity of Iran is going on,” despite the nuclear deal reached with the United States and other Western nations. Akbar made the comments in an interview with PressTV, an Iranian propaganda outfit.
Akbar also says they won’t dismantle Arak reactor, that the American have achieved nothing, and that they’re continuing to build new nuclear sites.

Do you seriously think there is any chance of Iran attacking us with a nuclear weapon?
We have about 2000 of them. They might be able to build one or two.
