This is fantastic news. Really a diplomatic masterpiece on Obama's side.

Noticeable fact: Obama informed King Salman before Nethanyahu after the deal was struck.

A few comments to the deal:
[...]
I read similar stuff. One important thing is that in the broad rivalry Iran/Shia vs Saudi Arabia/Turkey/Sunni states, the US were clearly considered to be on the Sunni side. Saudis are worried that Washington may become more neutral (good thing imo), and the Sunni intervention in Yemen is a demonstration of assertiveness directed to Iran.

The US should respond by taking a stand against this unilateral Sunni aggression. Sadly, they won't.

In the big picture Iran is on the offensive and the Sunnis are defending.

Iran and allies have the upper hand in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

Not really, when you factor in ISIS (for which Saudi Arabia & friends have been remarkably foot-draggy in combating).

It's sounding more and more like the only way a final deal will be reached is if Obama concedes on a few dozen more points.

On the contrary, it is not only so that the final decision would be if Obama was ten units.
