Something I'm trying to understand. Iran has been working on a nuclear program for years. They have been willing to withstand sanctions for their nuclear program for a very long time. Over the course of this time they have been able to get closer and closer to gaining the ability to create a nuclear weapon. There were estimates that they were only 2-3 months away from being able to enrich enough uranium when this deal was struck. So why all of a sudden would Iran want to strike a deal with us when they have gotten so close and have sacrificed so much for its nuclear program? Might be a stupid question... but none of this makes sense to me.
