A remarkable act of patient diplomacy which started when Obama picked up the phone and called the Iranian leader. Some I am sure will be dissapointed that a chance for another war has slipped through their fingers but hats off to Obama (and John Kerry), a truely great achievment which history will look back on favourably.

Netan (Iran will have the atomic bomb by next Thursday) yahoo! will be severly dissapointed to see things come to a peaceful conclusion. Now waiting on the knee-jerk reactions of right wing senators who probably never even read the agreement. I'd also imagine FOX Spews is rushing off to Sarah Palin for her insight on this.

It's about time! They never should have been imposed in the first place.

" nuclear agency certified Saturday that Iran has met all of its commitments under last summer’s landmark nuclear deal "

Back to the comedy show. Remember that the whole Iranian nuke program was only revealed originally because defectors reported on Iran´s massive cheating on the NPT, right under the noses of the UN. This is a replay, except now with huge funds flowing to Iran.

If the Middle East doesn't go to a nuke arms race, it'd be a victory for the world.

Yeah, a nuclear-free Middle East would be a great thing. Unfortunately, there is one country that is preventing this (it ain't Iran).

I have a feeling this wouldn't have happened if McCain and Palin were still in office in their 2nd term!!! Hats off to Obama, Kerry and the other players on both sides behind the scenes. This is a huge achievement and a big step toward rebuilding trust between Iran and the West.

The irony the timing, watch the Iranian republic pump an additional 350,000 barrels a day into a market drowning in oil, driving the Saudi Kingdom economy into the dust....

Dear Burning Bush, the sanctions did work why do you think that Iran sat down with the powers in the first place! Do you remember a few years back when over two million Iranians ( most of them young) took to the streets to protest their government and do You remember what followed?

Let's see what happens next.
