A deal is done, but are the international powers that be making more ‘known unknown’ assumptions, that the UK Office For Budget Responsibility (OBR) have to make on their economic, interest rate and inflation predictions several years forward, analysing a Osborne Budget?
Israel are clearly not happy bunnies, and I have to admit I agree with most of what they say as nearly every international red line has been erased to get this deal done, including the ‘Martini’ clause, where inspections ‘anytime, anyplace, anywhere’, has been replaced with a 1-month Notice of inspection, that can be refused?
I suspect there are several motives, including political legacies and the hope of more Iranian ‘sandals on the ground’ to attack ISIS to augment western and regional coalition air power – but to my mind, nothing much I see shows any evidence anti western Iran has changed - other than Shia Iran gets to go about its work with the west, with an ‘open season’ on Sunni Muslims, hopefully the ones from ISIS.

”Iran and six world powers sealed a historic accord to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program in return for ending sanctions, capping two years of tough diplomacy with the biggest breakthrough in relations in decades.”
”Diplomats reached the deal in Vienna on Tuesday, their 18th day of talks. President Barack Obama said it blocks “every path to a nuclear weapon” for Iran, while Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called it a “win-win” solution.”
“This is probably going to go down in history as one of the biggest diplomatic successes of the century,” Ellie Geranmayeh, a policy fellow at the European Council of Foreign Relations, said by phone from London.
”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the deal as a “historic mistake,” saying in a statement that “sweeping concessions were made in all areas meant to block Iran from the ability to arm itself with nuclear weapons.”
