Happy for him. that should shut the cacs up for a few days.
if only Persia Monir were escorting here in AZ..this would be cause for a celebration 
I love america. with shale oil expected to be the defactor king, the americans have shifted their allegiance from the arabs to the persians. they better buy as much guns before their dollars are all gone. now its unto turning india against china. all in a weeks work

Here’s the full document, with key details:
Halting the Progress of Iran’s Program and Rolling Back Key Elements
Iran has committed to halt enrichment above 5%:
Halt all enrichment above 5% and dismantle the technical connections required to enrich above 5%.
Iran has committed to neutralize its stockpile of near-20% uranium:
Dilute below 5% or convert to a form not suitable for further enrichment its entire stockpile of near-20% enriched uranium before the end of the initial phase.
Iran has committed to halt progress on its enrichment capacity:
Not install additional centrifuges of any type.
Not install or use any next-generation centrifuges to enrich uranium.
Leave inoperable roughly half of installed centrifuges at Natanz and three-quarters of installed centrifuges at Fordow, so they cannot be used to enrich uranium.
Limit its centrifuge production to those needed to replace damaged machines, so Iran cannot use the six months to stockpile centrifuges.
Not construct additional enrichment facilities.
Iran has committed to halt progress on the growth of its 3.5% stockpile:
Not increase its stockpile of 3.5% low enriched uranium, so that the amount is not greater at the end of the six months than it is at the beginning, and any newly enriched 3.5% enriched uranium is converted into oxide.
Iran has committed to no further advances of its activities at Arak and to halt progress on its plutonium track. Iran has committed to:
Not commission the Arak reactor.
Not fuel the Arak reactor.
Halt the production of fuel for the Arak reactor.
No additional testing of fuel for the Arak reactor.
Not install any additional reactor components at Arak.
Not transfer fuel and heavy water to the reactor site.
Not construct a facility capable of reprocessing. Without reprocessing, Iran cannot separate plutonium from spent fuel.
Unprecedented transparency and intrusive monitoring of Iran’s nuclear program
Iran has committed to:
Provide daily access by IAEA inspectors at Natanz and Fordow. This daily access will permit inspectors to review surveillance camera footage to ensure comprehensive monitoring. This access will provide even greater transparency into enrichment at these sites and shorten detection time for any non-compliance.
Provide IAEA access to centrifuge assembly facilities.
Provide IAEA access to centrifuge rotor component production and storage facilities.
Provide IAEA access to uranium mines and mills.
Provide long-sought design information for the Arak reactor. This will provide critical insight into the reactor that has not previously been available.
Provide more frequent inspector access to the Arak reactor.
Provide certain key data and information called for in the Additional Protocol to Iran’s IAEA Safeguards Agreement and Modified Code 3.1.
Verification Mechanism
The IAEA will be called upon to perform many of these verification steps, consistent with their ongoing inspection role in Iran. In addition, the P5+1 and Iran have committed to establishing a Joint Commission to work with the IAEA to monitor implementation and address issues that may arise. The Joint Commission will also work with the IAEA to facilitate resolution of past and present concerns with respect to Iran’s nuclear program, including the possible military dimension of Iran’s nuclear program and Iran’s activities at Parchin.
Limited, Temporary, Reversible Relief
In return for these steps, the P5+1 is to provide limited, temporary, targeted, and reversible relief while maintaining the vast bulk of our sanctions, including the oil, finance, and banking sanctions architecture. If Iran fails to meet its commitments, we will revoke the relief.
Specifically the P5+1 has committed to:
Not impose new nuclear-related sanctions for six months, if Iran abides by its commitments under this deal, to the extent permissible within their political systems.
Suspend certain sanctions on gold and precious metals, Iran’s auto sector, and Iran’s petrochemical exports, potentially providing Iran approximately $US1.5 billion in revenue.
Licence safety-related repairs and inspections inside Iran for certain Iranian airlines.
Allow purchases of Iranian oil to remain at their currently significantly reduced levels — levels that are 60% less than two years ago. $US4.2 billion from these sales will be allowed to be transferred in installments if, and as, Iran fulfils its commitments.
Allow $US400 million in governmental tuition assistance to be transferred from restricted Iranian funds directly to recognised educational institutions in third countries to defray the tuition costs of Iranian students.
Humanitarian Transactions
Facilitate humanitarian transactions that are already allowed by U.S. law. Humanitarian transactions have been explicitly exempted from sanctions by Congress so this channel will not provide Iran access to any new source of funds. Humanitarian transactions are those related to Iran’s purchase of food, agricultural commodities, medicine, medical devices; we would also facilitate transactions for medical expenses incurred abroad. We will establish this channel for the benefit of the Iranian people.
Putting Limited Relief in Perspective
In total, the approximately $US7 billion in relief is a fraction of the costs that Iran will continue to incur during this first phase under the sanctions that will remain in place. The vast majority of Iran’s approximately $US100 billion in foreign exchange holdings are inaccessible or restricted by sanctions.
In the next six months, Iran’s crude oil sales cannot increase. Oil sanctions alone will result in approximately $US30 billion in lost revenues to Iran — or roughly $US5 billion per month — compared to what Iran earned in a six month period in 2011, before these sanctions took effect. While Iran will be allowed access to $US4.2 billion of its oil sales, nearly $US15 billion of its revenues during this period will go into restricted overseas accounts. In summary, we expect the balance of Iran’s money in restricted accounts overseas will actually increase, not decrease, under the terms of this deal.
Maintaining Economic Pressure on Iran and Preserving Our Sanctions Architecture
During the first phase, we will continue to vigorously enforce our sanctions against Iran, including by taking action against those who seek to evade or circumvent our sanctions.
Sanctions affecting crude oil sales will continue to impose pressure on Iran’s government. Working with our international partners, we have cut Iran’s oil sales from 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in early 2012 to 1 million bpd today, denying Iran the ability to sell almost 1.5 million bpd. That’s a loss of more than $US80 billion since the beginning of 2012 that Iran will never be able to recoup. Under this first step, the EU crude oil ban will remain in effect and Iran will be held to approximately 1 million bpd in sales, resulting in continuing lost sales worth an additional $US4 billion per month, every month, going forward.
Sanctions affecting petroleum product exports to Iran, which result in billions of dollars of lost revenue, will remain in effect.
The vast majority of Iran’s approximately $US100 billion in foreign exchange holdings remain inaccessible or restricted by our sanctions.
Other significant parts of our sanctions regime remain intact, including:
Sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran and approximately two dozen other major Iranian banks and financial actors;
Secondary sanctions, pursuant to the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (CISADA) as amended and other laws, on banks that do business with U.S.-designated individuals and entities;
Sanctions on those who provide a broad range of other financial services to Iran, such as many types of insurance; and,
Restricted access to the U.S. financial system.
All sanctions on over 600 individuals and entities targeted for supporting Iran’s nuclear or ballistic missile program remain in effect.
Sanctions on several sectors of Iran’s economy, including shipping and shipbuilding, remain in effect.
Sanctions on long-term investment in and provision of technical services to Iran’s energy sector remain in effect.
Sanctions on Iran’s military program remain in effect.
Broad U.S. restrictions on trade with Iran remain in effect, depriving Iran of access to virtually all dealings with the world’s biggest economy.
All UN Security Council sanctions remain in effect.
All of our targeted sanctions related to Iran’s state sponsorship of terrorism, its destabilizing role in the Syrian conflict, and its abysmal human rights record, among other concerns, remain in effect.
A Comprehensive Solution
During the six-month initial phase, the P5+1 will negotiate the contours of a comprehensive solution. Thus far, the outline of the general parameters of the comprehensive solution envisions concrete steps to give the international community confidence that Iran’s nuclear activities will be exclusively peaceful. With respect to this comprehensive resolution: nothing is agreed to with respect to a comprehensive solution until everything is agreed to. Over the next six months, we will determine whether there is a solution that gives us sufficient confidence that the Iranian program is peaceful. If Iran cannot address our concerns, we are prepared to increase sanctions and pressure.
Conclusion
In sum, this first step achieves a great deal in its own right. Without this phased agreement, Iran could start spinning thousands of additional centrifuges. It could install and spin next-generation centrifuges that will reduce its breakout times. It could fuel and commission the Arak heavy water reactor. It could grow its stockpile of 20% enriched uranium to beyond the threshold for a bomb’s worth of uranium. Iran can do none of these things under the conditions of the first step understanding.
Furthermore, without this phased approach, the international sanctions coalition would begin to fray because Iran would make the case to the world that it was serious about a diplomatic solution and we were not. We would be unable to bring partners along to do the crucial work of enforcing our sanctions. With this first step, we stop and begin to roll back Iran’s program and give Iran a sharp choice: fulfil its commitments and negotiate in good faith to a final deal, or the entire international community will respond with even more isolation and pressure.
The American people prefer a peaceful and enduring resolution that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and strengthens the global non-proliferation regime. This solution has the potential to achieve that. Through strong and principled diplomacy, the United States of America will do its part for greater peace, security, and cooperation among nations.

It's only a 6 month deal. We don't have a Presidential election until 2016, so if you do the math...
All jokes aside if this interim deal doesn't produce the longer full agreement Congress will find a way to pass an amendment officially changing the President's name to Jimmy Carter. The President is all in on this.
.......
WASHINGTON -- Republican lawmakers unanimously denounced an historic agreement between Iran, the U.S. and five world powers on Tuesday, promising to fight the accord tooth and nail once a congressional review period ends later this year.
“The deal in my view, from what I know so far, is unacceptable,” House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a weekly press conference, noting it would provide “billions in sanction relief while paving the way for a nuclear Iran.”
"Instead of making the world less dangerous, this ‘deal’ will only embolden Iran -- the world’s largest sponsor of terror -- by helping stabilize and legitimize its regime as it spreads even more violence and instability in the region," Boehner added. "Instead of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, this deal is likely to fuel a nuclear arms race around the world."
Boehner's second in command, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), echoed the sentiment. He promised House Republicans would "fight hard to reject this deal with any tool we have."
The success of such an effort remains unclear, however. In announcing the deal, President Barack Obama threatened to veto any attempt by Congress to override the agreement. Boehner, notably, did not commit to an effort to override a presidential veto in his press conference, saying only that no decisions have been made on how to proceed.
Congress has two months to review the agreement once documents are officially submitted to both the House and Senate. Lawmakers may then pass a resolution that approves or disapproves of the deal, or may simply do nothing. If Congress votes to disapprove, Republicans must sustain two-thirds of both the House and the Senate to override a presidential veto. Critics of the Iran deal would thus need to convince 13 Democrats in the Senate and 43 in the House to break with Obama -- an unlikely scenario.
Over in the Senate, Republicans expressed equal distaste for the deal with Iran. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who is tasked with managing the congressional review process, cautiously withheld his judgement to reporters on Tuesday. But he signaled where he stood by commenting that the accord was already on a "downward trend" due to several provisions -- such as one that would phase out the non-nuclear arms embargo on Iran.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a frequent critic of the Obama administration's foreign policy, didn't mince words. He called the deal "delusional and dangerous,” arguing it would allow Iran to retain “an industrial-scale nuclear program.”
Republicans were less unified on the prospect of overriding a presidential veto. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) argued that Obama would encounter difficulty in keeping members of his own party in line -- even though a majority of Senate Democrats on Tuesday indicated cautious optimism.
"The president is the most important Democrat in the country and he's obviously in favor of this," McConnell said. "He negotiated it -- he's going to work hard to get the 34 votes that I know he knows he needs in order to sustain it. So it'll be a real challenge for him because I think it falls short in a lot of ways."
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said he was confident that Republicans would undo the agreement. Appearing in an interview on MSNBC, the foreign policy hawk, who authored a letter to Iran earlier this year threatening to rescind a nuclear agreement, said that the "American people will repudiate this deal and I believe Congress will kill the deal."
Other Republicans were less certain of that assessment.
"He'll have all the Democrats, if most of them," Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said of the president. "It’s hard to override a veto. I mean there’s alway hope, but you can’t bet on hope."

See you in September. Let's see if the Supreme Ayatollah signs off on it.
Anyways, looking at Gametheory's summary, I can only conclude that the 1 and only reason republicans are mad about this is because it wasn't a republican that struck the deal. It looks to me that America just basically relieved about 1/2 pound a pressure from Iran's neck from that boot - ohhhhhhh....
