I'm cautiously optimistic. We'll see how this deal will work in the long term.

Great credit to everyone involved, the president, Kerry and the other members of the international community who participated.

Also kudos to Rouhani for having approached the West and being open to a new relationship between countries. This deal would have never taken place if Ahmadinejad was still in charge.

Congratulations to all involved for a job well done.
