How Folks Around the World Are ReactingAs you might imagine, reactions to the deal have been mixed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slammed the deal as a historic blunder that will enable Iran to do even more to fund proxy conflicts in the region and pursue its ultimate sinister ambitions unabated. Most Republicans in America seem to share his broad sentiments. House Speaker John Boehner, for one, has started to spin the agreement as an endorsement of state-sponsored terrorism, a sign of American weakness, and a failure to achieve our true goal of a surefire end to any future Iranian bomb. (Congress will have 60 days to approve or reject the deal, or do nothing, but Obama will be able to veto a rejection.) 2016 presidential GOP hopefuls have already taken up Boehner's cry as a major new talking point, and will continue to badmouth the deal for months to come.Why This Is Still a Pretty Damn Important DevelopmentRemoving a source of conflict between Iran and the West and opening up travel and trade will likely radically alter dialogue between all the nations involved. That's especially true given that, once sanctions unravel, it'll be very hard to ratchet them back up , meaning that this opening is a somewhat permanent development. So long as the deal can reach the first stage of implementation, we're looking at a major rewriting of the calculus of the global energy market, Middle Eastern affairs, and Iranian-Western diplomacy. Whoever you think emerged as the "winner" of these negotiations, it's inarguable that we just saw history being made.Follow Mark Hay on Twitter.On VICE News: Critics Say Nuclear Deal Will 'Fuel Iran's Terrorism'
