All sides worked hard for a long time on the Iran nuclear agreement announced Tuesday. But the issue is far from settled. Congress has 60 days to review the deal, and Republican leaders immediately vowed to derail it, reports The New York Times. Middle East allies of the U.S. don’t like it either, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling it “a historic mistake for the world.” In other elements of its coverage, the Times offers a useful “simple guide to the Iran nuclear deal.”

Finally, President Obama sat down for a 47-minute exclusive interview with Times columnist Thomas Friedman to make his case for the agreement.
