The deal it signed on June 17 commits to lifting every sanction, clears the way for at least $300 billion to rebuild Iran, and leaves that program standing. The decision was not made on the battlefield. It was made in the oil market, where a closed Strait of Hormuz threatened to drag the West into recession.
