Well, the Iranians are calling it a victory
The United States released $8 billion in frozen assets to Iran on Sunday in a move meant to ensure Tehran's compliance with a nuclear agreement signed over the weekend, say top Iranian officials, the Washington Free Beacon reported Monday.
Iranian government spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht confirmed Monday that the U.S. government freed $8 billion in assets that had been blocked by the Obama administration.
In addition, Iran will get about $7 billion in sanctions relief, gold, and oil sales under the nuclear deal that was signed in Geneva with Western nations over the weekend.

Billions of dollars for the Iranians and not one of the prisoner released. That's some kind of deal Obama has negotiated that he couldn't demand that even 1 of the pastors in jail for being a Christian be released. It should have been the first thing on the list of demands, but I guess it shows how he thinks of Americans overseas and his record of rescuing them.
Since some sanctions are lifted you can bet some shady deals will be made among hungry suppliers and buyers.
Another thing Iran got was an advocate in the White House. Just imagine Obama conceding that the deal isn't working so well down the road.
