President Barack Obama clinched a huge victory on the Iran nuclear deal in Congress this past week when Senate Democrats blocked GOP attempts to get a disapproval resolution to his desk and frustrated House Republicans settled for passing two related measures destined to go nowhere.
He invited ambassadors from the other countries in the accord to meet with 30 Senate Democrats.
The diplomats' message: This is the best deal you will get.
When news of the nuclear deal with Iran was announced, millions of Iranians celebrated in the streets. Opponents of the deal in the United States labeled the celebration as Iran's victory parade over the U.S.
Though, images streaming in from Iran painted a different picture. These crowds were not burning American flags, but rather celebrating them. Across the country, joyful people waived both Iranian and American flags with chants of "
hello world!"
The deal blocks Iran's paths to a nuclear weapon. It imposes strict limits on its nuclear program and an intrusive, unprecedented inspections regime that ensures Iran cannot develop the bomb.
This is a big win for U.S. national security and the security of its "allies" in the region.
