My take on the whole Iran agreement

Since the 'negotiation' period is extendable according to the agreement, and the previous agreement took years to hash out, maybe Iran is hoping to just slow walk the talks and run out the clock on the Trump administration before they finalize any agreement. The agreement will basically allow money to pour into Iran while they 'negotiate'. The people doing the negotiation on their end are FAR smarter than anyone the Trump admin has to work on it, I see them dragging their feet and delaying as long as possible making an agreement. Trump will lose interest in it and move onto the next shiny object, the news cycle will move onto something else (hopefully back to Epstein), and Iran will be on the back burner.

It will permit Trump to replenish the oil reserve and build up the weapons stockpile for the next round of attacks. It will drive down the price of gas and help them get thru the election cycle.

After the election, anything could happen.
