As Iran’s Supreme Leader warns the U.S. about extending sanctions, Obama is trying to safeguard his precarious nuclear deal.

Maybe the nuke deal survives after all.

The answer isn’t straightforward, and it’s likely to be decided by our next president.

So we have a framework deal with Iran. Now we can expect an avalanche of hype about the supposed significance of this deal. No doubt the President’s supporters will portray him as a hero and a tactical genius. This is, of course, absurd.

Iran has quietly positioned itself to turn a failed deal into a diplomatic and domestic political victory.
