US-Iran Nuclear Deal

"The West has long suspected Iran's uranium enrichment programme is geared towards making a weapon, but Tehran insists it only wants nuclear energy." Do you think Iran is playing Obama? 

Obama acknowledged that obstacles remained but said "tough talk and bluster" did not guarantee US security.

There has been a lot of back and forth, heated debates and big challenges surrounding this deal.  It is one thing to tell others to do something that you do yourself.  None of the western powers or Saudi for that matter have renounced their nuclear powers and yet they are putting immense pressure on Iran for wanting to do so. Is this a form of political hypocrisy?

  1. A deal was finally made,it's only a six-month deal, but world leaders hope it'll pave the way to a long-term guarantee that Iran won't produce nuclear weapons. On the other hand Iran hopes to recoup some of the billions of dollars it's lost as a result of international sanctions.

  2. I guess your question is my question too. Typical demonstration of double standards by US and other major powers
