So recently I finished reading the Iran wars by Jay Solomon which looked into depth into the nuclear deal and I am wondering what about what you lot on Wrong Planet think of this deal done by Obama.

It was something we should have done a long time ago. We need Iran as our ally.

We haven't really talked about it much because we have more pressing concerns (mainly whatever local affairs are going on in their current post, and nowadays Trump because he's a serious threat to every diplomacy related), but they approve of it, think they were a bit more excited about the lifting of the embargo on Cuba though. My brother talks more about Iran than my parents do because he's planning on doing stuff there, right now he's studying international relations and teaching himself Persian.

I rather would want to avoid being hostile towards other countries for something that is not an illegal thing to do like building nuclear power plants

He frequently jokes about becoming a benevolent dictator for the world, but I'm pretty sure his actual plan to try and join the foreign service as well, and I guess with Iran to get assigned there once we get diplomatic relations running again.
