Leslie Gelb, Daily Beast: Obama’s Iran Nuke Deal: Winners & Losers

The pragmatists are triumphant for the moment, but the hawks are circling.

The emerging arrangements on Iranian nuclear programs announced Thursday are a clear plus/plus for both sides. Only those who don’t want any deal see it otherwise.

The U.S. and its partners in the Swiss talks get a downsizing and overhaul of Iran’s nuclear facilities with strong inspection rights, stretching warning time to counter Iranian cheating from a couple of months to at least a year. Tehran gets the economic sanctions noose loosened.
