On Tuesday, the P5+1 and Iran finalized a permanent nuclear agreement that seeks to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. Early on, world leaders took to Twitter, congratulating and condemning the final agreement.
Israeli officials expressed their dismay, warning that Israel would do all in its might to protect the Jewish state. In Iran, the president called out the “warmongering Zionist regime” for trying to stop the deal. In the US, the president congratulated his diplomatic team and promised to defend the State of Israel.

When willing to make a deal at any cost, this is the result. From early reports, we can see that the deal is a historic mistake.

The only thing we need to “verify” about #IranDeal is what Obama was thinking when he agreed to it. This deal is an absolute disaster.
