Is the EU paying attention? This is how you get something done.
After years of talks, negotiations between Iran and the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China finally came to a head in Vienna this week. The major powers want Tehran to curb its nuclear program in return for relief from economic sanctions that have crippled its economy.
"Reaching an agreement on Iran has been a top priority for President Barack Obama's administration, but could put him on collision course in Congress and cause tensions with allies Saudi Arabia and Israel in the Middle East."
"Obama has maintained that a deal would curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, but other nations in the region are concerned that a lifting of economic sanctions could see Iran bolster its conventional military capabilities."

"Of course, the GOP Congress will hate it but then Republicans don't actually agree with diplomacy. If it were up to them they'd probably shutdown the State department. First Cuba now Iran."
"Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iranian foreign minister, said at a formal announcement of the deal that it was a “historic moment” and a “win-win” solution. “We’re reaching an agreement that’s not perfect for anybody but what we could accomplish,” he said. “Today could have been the end of hope on this issue but today we are beginning a new chapter of hope.”
"Federica Mogherini, EU foreign affairs chief, said the agreement “can open a new chapter in international relations”, adding: “It’s a sign of hope for the entire world.”
"It will be hailed by many as one of the most significant foreign policy successes of Barack Obama’s US presidency and decried by others, including some of Washington’s closest Middle East allies, as one of its most egregious failures."
"Tuesday’s deal brings to a close a three-week stretch of discussions between Iran and its interlocutors — the US, Russia, France, China, the UK and Germany — that have set precedents and broken records."
"Since they began, the talks have involved the highest-level diplomacy seen between Iran and the US since the overthrow of the Shah in 1979 and they have demanded the highest level of commitment. No secretary of state has dedicated as much time to a single diplomatic objective as John Kerry."

So now the GOP Presidential candidates have something else to vow to rollback-along with shutttig down the new Cuban Embassy.
