1. Economic Impact of the Deal

3. Comparison to the Obama-Era Iran Deal

More restrictive

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)
