WHAT A GREAT DEAL WE GOT – AT 10:07 A.M. ET:  I marvel at the American diplomacy that got us the Iran nuclear deal.  Why aren't we peasants more appeciative?  From The Times of Israel:

Iran is enhancing its nuclear activities, and has improved its capacity to enrich uranium, Iran’s nuclear chief told a gathering of his country’s diplomats in Tehran on Saturday.

“We are enhancing the industrial section of Iran’s nuclear activities technologically with modern systems and machines,” said Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran who was a key figure in the negotiation of last year’s nuclear deal between Iran and the US-led P5+1 world powers.

Salehi spoke of advances in enrichment capability, asserting that the quality of process of uranium enrichment in Iran is also progressing, according to the Tehran Times.

Iran’s IRNA state news agency reported: “Salehi said that Iran’s nuclear program is on the right path naturally and compatible with the strategic plans of the country in a transparent way based on international factors.”

He also told the envoys, at a conference that focused on the nuclear deal, that Iran is establishing itself as an exporter of nuclear products, including heavy water. “We have improved the country’s situation in the field of the civilian nuclear energy,” Salehi said, according to Iran’s Fars news agency.

COMMENT:  And in ten or so years, when the nuclear agreement expires, Iran will be well positioned to build atomic bombs.  By that time Obama will be secretary-general of the UN, and will be glad to welcome Iran as a major power. 

And we'll be left with targets on our backs.
