Thursday marked a historical day, where President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are close to finalizing a deal with Iran that will only make Iran stronger.

Whereas there are a lot of details still left to iron out in negotiations, the United States took a significant step towards a deal that on the outside is said to keep Iran’s nuclear program peaceful. As we have learned with Obama and his previous deals, you can’t always read a book by its cover.

What is being pitched to the public is that Iran would reduce it’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98% and scale back its number of installed centrifuges. In exchange for this the United States and European Union would lift sanctions that have been crippling the country’s economy per CNN.

Republicans are not happy about the upcoming agreement at all. Senator Marco Rubio had the following to say:

This attempt to spin diplomatic failure is just the latest example of this administration’s farcical approach to Iran. Under this President’s watch, Iran has expanded its influence in the Middle East, sowing instability throughout the region. Iran’s support for terrorism has continued unabated without a serious response from the United States.

As for never judging a book by its cover, Rubio added:

And now Tehran is gaining international acceptance of its nuclear ambitions and will receive significant sanction relief without making serious concessions.

President Obama does not see the deal through the same window Rubio does. He said:

It is a good deal, a deal that meets our core objectives. This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon.

Obama also went on to say:

It’s no secret Israeli prime minister and I don’t agree about whether the United States should move forward with a peaceful resolution to the Iranian issue. If in fact Netanyahu is looking for the most effective way to insure Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon, this is the best option.

The President also had strong words for Congress if they tried to kill the deal:

If Congress kills this deal, not based on expert analysis and without offering any reasonable alternative, then it’s the United States that will be blamed for failure of diplomacy.

The full details of the bill are not revealed yet but members of Congress are insisting they should get to review any guidelines before they are agreed upon.

Senator Menendez (NJ-D) fresh from his morning plea of not guilty to the fourteen counts of corruption he was charged with yesterday said:

If diplomats can negotiate for two-years on this issues, then certainly Congress is entitled to a review period of an agreement that will fundamentally alter our relationship with Iran and the sanctions imposed by Congress . . . The best outcome remains a good deal that ends Iran’s illicit nuclear weapons program. That requires a strong, united, and bipartisan approach from the administration and Congress.

Representative Dennis Ross (FL-R) also commented about the deal with Iran:

I am deeply concerned that the framework nuclear deal negotiated by President Obama with Iran does not go far enough to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. I urge the president to submit his final deal to Congress where it will require ratification from the Senate. Only then will the American people have an opportunity to say whether they approve or not.

By moving forward with this deal it will only confirm to the world the United States is weak. When in history has a country negotiated with their enemy? One that supports terrorism, one that still actively have training camps for terrorists and none of that has been brought to the table. Iran simply was upset we were crippling their economy with sanctions (I thought that was the objective of sanctions) and the United States is saying “sorry we upset you. Here is a nuclear reactor, please don’t blow us up.”

History has shown us time and time again when we expect countries to willingly reduce their nuclear production they have lied, outsourced it or not given us access. Iraq and North Korea are prime examples of this.
