According to the White House:
After many months [Ed: years?] of principled diplomacy, the P5+1 -- the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, Russia and Germany -- along with the European Union, have achieved a long-term comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran that will verifiably prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and ensure that Iran's nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful going forward.
Reported at BBC, NYT, Reuters, and everywhere else. President Obama spoke about the deal for 15 minutes this morning.
The deal has been praised by Syrian President Bashar Assad and slammed by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Text of the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action."

The deal has been ... slammed by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
i would be surprised if Netanyahu didn't slam any deal made with Iran. if you follow politics you know this guy is generally malcontent and a warmonger.

Dude has been slamming it for months. Today's slamming happened even before the full details were released. The guy is a fucking broken record.

As a red-blooded American, I demand my president to put this assclown in his place.

Really? You want the President to lay a smackdown on "Gravis"? Sure, it was a ridiculous comment, but not really worthy of a presidential punch.

Anonymous Coward? You are calling for the President to lay a smackdown on yourself?
Bold move.

I prefer sterile and neutral summaries, especially for political submissions.

Turkey's a bit more than "cautiously" optimistic:
"Full implementation of the agreements will bring peace, security and stability to the region [...]"

From the bbc article http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-33527844 [bbc.com], why does this agreement have to be cancelled by Congress vs being passed by Congress?
As in, based on the BBC article, Congress would have to vote to cancel the agreement, then the president can veto the cancellation, and then Congress would need a 2/3rds majority to force it's cancellation, vs what I expected, that Congress would have to approve the agreement.
It just seems backwards. Are 'regular' trade agreements also like this?
