These contrasting two articles highlight the difficulty with the Iran Nuclear deal.  Poor choices and circumstances all around.  Regardless, the key moving forward has to be to open a new front to more effectively – and across the board – counteract and contain Iran’s support of terrorism and extremism across the globe.
