PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...
To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

With all the info available it really is indisputable that it worked and Iran was complying. There are no credible reports of them not adhering to the deal except for the one time they had too much hard water, which was found in an audit, and then shipped out of the country immediately.
Im lukewarm in a vacuum to the Obama presidency but he looks better by comparison every time the current President does literally anything.
