Still haven't heard any Iran Deal critic plausibly argue the Middle East would be better today if only Iran had nuclear weapons. Just naive fantasies that Russia and China would've continued sanctions forever, Iran was verging on collapse, or a few airstrikes would've solved it.
Provides Iran with economic benefits, some of which have funded proxy forces in Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria and Yemen, as well as Iran's missile program that violates UN resolutions. But nukes are more important, and you have to give something to get something.

The deal simply ends int sanctions the Obama admin got world-wide support for to pressure Iran from getting nukes. These sanctions had nothing to do w/ Hezbollah, missiles or anything else.

I know. But Iran having more money means its military and proxies get more money. That's a tradeoff that has to be factored into analysis of the nuclear deal.

Yes, Iran got their own funds and trade partners back for big concessions. An isolated Iran is much more dangerous IMO.
