Iran cannot trust this deal out of common sense

Obama can veto the deal through Congress. What he cannot do is convince Iran this deal will last the 10 years against a growing majority in Congress awaiting a different president. I conclude Iran cannot trust this deal out of common sense, not out of ideological thinking.

Ambition writes documents, makes speeches, but cannot substitute for a substantial majority.

The Euro-Group made a similar deal days ago with Greece. There is no majority in the Euro-Group for funding Greece. Neither is there a majority in Greece to implement the conditions.
