They're saying Iran's leaders are worried about selling this agreement politically to their internal audience, but didn't Trump tell us Iran's leaders are a bunch of murderous thugs who won't allow political protests, that Iran isn't a democracy, and it doesn't allow any internal political opposition? It seems the only one worried about selling this agreement politically to an internal audience is Trump.
