Deal Reached to Halt Iran’s Nuclear Program | The Cable

“Even if the deal succeeds in freezing Iran’s nuclear program, meanwhile, Washington and Tehran still remain on opposite sides of the Syrian civil war and face lingerng disputes over Iran’s support for Hezbollah in Lebanon, a network of heavily-armed Shiite militias in Iraq, and Shiite activist groups in Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states. The nuclear deal could clear the way for further pacts down the road devoted specifically to issues like reducing Tehran’s support for the regime of Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad.  For the moment, though, those disputes serve as reminders of just how enormous a bet Obama has made by inking this new nuclear deal with Tehran.”

Wow, so much news for a Sunday night!

I think there are at least three interpretations to this deal: that of the Iranians, that of the other parties (P5+1) and of course that of Israel. Wonder which will turn out to be accurate in the next six month…
