1. Economic Impact of the Deal
Oil prices dropped sharply (from crisis highs around $118 to below $80 per barrel)

Cannot rebuild its military industrial base
Has minimal ability to project power

Iran has no meaningful air force or navy
U.S. holds full air superiority
Iran’s nuclear program is effectively dismantled

3. Comparison to the Obama-Era Iran Deal

More restrictive
Eliminating enrichment and stockpiling ability
Enforcing stronger limitations on Iran
The previous deal is criticized as insufficient

4. Political Debate in the United States

Criticism of the Deal
Some argue:

The U.S. had leverage it did not fully use
The deal does not go far enough
Congressional frustration stems from:

Lack of transparency
Limited access to agreement details

Congressional Action
A Senate vote attempted to limit presidential war powers:

Failed narrowly (48–47)
Bipartisan crossover voting occurred
Ongoing legislative efforts:

Potential new proposals to restrict military authority
Calls for review under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act
