Sum?

Another bit of stellar international diplomacy on the part of this administration.

I'm curious why this is would be regarded as a stellar bit of diplomacy. I've honestly not made up my mind about it.

However, it does represent a massive shift in US foreign policy in the region. While I certainly understand the potential value of "engagement", I also see Iran potentially seeing this as a "win" in the use of the type of nuclear blackmail that North Korea is infamous for. Also, in terms of negotiating approach and strategy, I"m wondering why some of our allies had to learn about the deal in the press.

I'm with you, I'm not sure whether this is a good idea or not.

It's probably inconsequential. Iran is going to get nukes sooner or later, whether anyone likes it or not.
