Quietly collapses: New York Posts's words.
Iran, after finding out the US was serious about the deal, decides to scrap it.
Not finding fault, but no deal is better than a bad deal, which this certainly was. Israel is no safer than before, but the world at last is not being fooled into thinking dealing with Iran might actually work.
From TFA:
Less than a month after it was hailed as "a great diplomatic coup," the so-called Geneva accord to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions seems to have come unstuck.
The official narrative in Tehran is that Iran signed nothing. "There is no treaty and no pact," says Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham, "only a statement of intent."
Originally, Iran's official media had presented the accord as a treaty (qarardad) but it now refers to a "letter of agreement" (tavafoq nameh).
