Iran Negotiations: Framework AgreementLausanne: Is there really much Disagreement between US, Iran on those Talking Points?
"Demonstrating the value domestically is vital to keeping hardline critics of the deal at bay in Washington and Tehran while the negotiations are ongoing," Davenport adds. "But nothing that has been said about framework in the United States and Iran is fundamentally contradictory."

Iran Negotiations: U.S. - GulfCan US reassure Arabs, Israel on Iran deal?
In interviews since the Iran framework was announced April 2, Obama has suggested that the United States will provide some kind of formal security guarantees to key Persian Gulf allies.

Iran Negotiations: Framework AgreementAn Iran deal seemed impossible. How did it become possible?
When you look at the framework terms, you can see how Iranians and Americans separated those issues out and found resolutions where none seemed possible. Take, for example, the Iranian nuclear facility known as Fordow, a hardened bunker built to withstand military bombings. The Americans wanted it closed because they saw it as designed to develop a nuclear bomb; the Iranians wanted it open as a symbol of their resolve and strength against outside powers. The disagreement seemed irresolvable.

Iran Negotiations: Framework AgreementOpinion: What Are the Alternatives to Obama’s Nuclear Deal With Iran?
The key flaw in Netanyahu’s critique of the Iran deal is his belief that America—having convinced the world to pressure Iran into accepting an agreement that enjoys global support—can now destroy that deal and expect the pressure to increase. It won’t. To the contrary, if America follows Netanyahu’s advice, Iran’s isolation will ease and America’s will grow. Perhaps it’s no surprise that a leader whose policies have so isolated his own country from the world is urging the United States down a similar path.

U.S. Oil ProductionOil prices crashed, but US output keeps rising anyway. How long can that last?
Indeed, while the recent growth in oil production has been impressive, last week's gain was actually the smallest since January. And the International Energy Agency expects US oil production to plateau sometime in the middle of this year, at least if prices stay around $60 per barrel. (If, say, the ongoing conflict in Yemen causes a surge in global oil prices, it will give a boost to US drillers.)
