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 principle that sanctions Iran for being a compliant signatory of the NPT since the 70's?

    The principle that excuses Israel from abiding by ay international legal or treaty obligation with regard to even acknowledging their nuclear capability and arsenal?

    Sanctions should have been on Israel until they signed and complied with inspections. We have a mad-dog, capable of nuclear blackmail on the loose.

    Maybe if Israel ever signed off their right to create nuclear weapons like other countries in question did you've had a point, they (and Pakistan) are among those that never signed off their ability to produce nuclear weapons.
