Iran Nuclear Deal Saga

[Gass3268]

After 5 years the arms embargo is lifted, and after 8 years a missile embargo is lifted.  I'm really surprised Obama and the Western powers agreed to that.  Obama won't see much support for this deal in Congress.   

That is actually 5 years longer than the UN sanctions resolution stated. The resolution stated the sanctions would be lifted once they came to the table for negotiations. Also I doubt the opposition will get 67 votes in the Senate, especially with Biden, Kerry, and Reid whipping votes for Obama. So the deal with go through.

As expected, it's basically Israel + Republicans vs. the World.

Which means that Iran will no longer have major sanctions in the next 5-10 years, regardless of what the United States does. The US sanctions are a drop in the bucket compared to those of Europe, Russia, and China. Only thing that the US keeping sanctions will bring is no inspections.
