Exec. Editor of DefenseOne.com, a defense business news site, totally blasts the administration as incompetent on its handling of this, and the article has jumped right away to the #1 most read over there:

In this case I kinda agree with the White House - should we really alliw rogue states to build and test nukes and smugly send test shot missiles across their neighbors' (our good allies') territory? (or even thhe same with chemical weapons which I bet they have and use on their own citizens). Glad we're applying tough sanctions to all these lawless regimes.

Wow, I can't believe you posted this.
By all accounts I've read the Iran deal not only successfully stopped Iran's development of nuclear weapons but rolled back it's ability. For example they destroyed thousands of centrifuges.
It's true that Iran has continued to meddle in other nations, as they have for decades. It then becomes a question of how much ability America has to control other nations. Can we stop Iran's nuclear development and it's funding of dissident groups in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and support for Assad in Syria? Or will attempting to do everything cause us to fail at controlling nuclear weapons. Are there any priorities?
America's position on nuclear weapons cannot be that we support nuclear proliferation by our allies and sanction non allies when they try to develop nuclear weapons. When Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons it's only logical that Iran would attempt to develop them to maintain a balance of power.

Hold a certain N.E. Asian country in your frontal lobes and re-read what I wrote. I don't do smileys, but may have to resort to them. Seems a shame though...
