The usual suspects – the Republican hawks that control Congress and their best Middle East pal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – are throwing a major tantrum. It’s all over the fact that the United States and five other world powers – Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia – reached a framework agreement with Iran aimed at preventing the Iranians from developing a nuclear weapons program.

In exchange for Iran submitting to specific limits to their nuclear development and a strict inspection regime, the harsh international sanctions against that nation would be lifted. Some hardliners in Iran are believed to be unhappy with the deal, but they have been unusually silent, reportedly because the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the man who has the last word in Iran and who by all indications backs the agreement, instructed them to keep it zipped.
