Iran gets the sanctions lifted to the tune of $150B. They get to dramatically increase their oil exports which will dramatically improve their economy. They get to buy and sell conventional weapons. They got a key scientist released to them in April. They get to continue their nuclear program. They get to continue their support for terrorism. Assuming they don't cheat, they become a nuclear power in 15 years. If they do cheat, they become a nuclear power sooner. They get to keep the 4 American hostages.

What do we get? A legacy?

Why don't you try reading about it somewhere other than Fox news (or other right wing website) or this message board and maybe you'll gain a limited understanding of it.

Go do your research then come back but you probably have zero interest in learning anything about it.

You're the one claiming I'm wrong. I have read a great deal about this deal. Let me know where my post was wrong.

Israel probably came out the potentially biggest winner. To survive, they are going to get to do a good bit of target practice with their nukes. They should improve accuracy of hitting intended target to at least 99.99%

Here's some reading on the nuclear aspects of the deal. http://www.vox.com/2015/7/16/8974507/iran-deal-explained-expert

The deal "exceeds in all areas." Under this agreement, if Iran tries to build a bomb, "the likelihood of getting caught is near 100 percent." As a result, "it makes the possibility of Iran developing a nuclear weapon in the next 25 years extremely remote."

Lol. Read the NY Times:

Yahoo News where Obama admits the breakout time would be near zero:

That sounds like something John Kerry would say. Right?

Hopefully you will not appreciate Israel's response while you are waiting on Obama. I think the stakes are too high for them to play a waiting game.

One of the reasons I'm not overly concerned with this deal is because I know that Israel will not allow Iran to develop a nuke. That was always my end game scenario.

Lots of opinions out there. Only time will tell how it all shakes out, I won't lose any sleep over it.

The stakes are far too high to be so cavalier. This decision will have enormous consequences.

I admit I don't know a lot about the deal but I do know the UN Security Council UNANIMOUSLY approves of it.

You do realize the un security council has to unanimously approve? One veto and the deal is done. Learn civics.
