Well if you're in the White House, you are.

The recent announcement of an agreement reached between Iran (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3284752,00.html)and the World Powers in Vienna amounts to nothing short of a gigantic coup for Iran, with the tacit approval of the Obama Administration.
After seven years of negotiations with the EU, three UN Security Council Resolutions, and most recently three weeks of discussions, the Iranians have agreed to have “most†of their acknowledged low-enriched uranium transferred to a third country for further processing and open up the recently discovered Qom (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3794738,00.html)facility for IAEA inspection.
This is all positive news, especially for the Iranians, who can now boast at having masterminded another negotiations victory against the West. Any urgency towards swift action on Iran has now been diffused, and Tehran can continue to flaunt UN Security Council Resolutions with impunity.
Iran is cooking up an age old Middle Eastern recipe for its discussions with the West, a Persian Shakshuka if you like, and its ingredients are amazingly simple: they will transfer the enriched uranium they admit to having to a third party, while they continue to enrich uranium secretly in facilities which they deny exist. Furthermore, under an “agreement in principle†the Iranian regime will allow inspectors into the facility in Qom but without specifying under which conditions.
