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."

    Were I going to have any faith in this deal at all, I lost it at 7AM today when Obama got on the teevee blathering on about it how wonderful it's going to be.

    I seem to recall that he's the bald-faced liar who spent 2 or 3 years saying "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor", over and over again.

    Obama has no credibility on any issue, whatsoever. He is an unmitigated, unapologetic liar. Nothing more.

    Well, are you surprised? He promised change. That's why we all voted for him. We just didn't anticipate that he'd change his word, we thought he'd change previous policies. Oh well, I'm not surprised, he is a politician after all! Can't ever really trust a politician.
