Major success in Obama's Iran Policy; No one notices

The BBC reports:
Iran has turned all of its enriched uranium closest to the level needed to make nuclear arms into more harmless forms, the UN nuclear agency says. The conversion of its stock of 20%-enriched uranium was part of a deal to curb Iran's nuclear programme.
The US said last week it would unblock $2.8bn in frozen Iranian funds in return for Iran's compliance.
A four-month extension to talks on Iran's nuclear ambitions was agreed on Friday between Iran and world powers.This is a big deal.  A major foreign policy success.  Iran is ending its nuclear program.  All without a shot being fired.
And that is the problem.  And why you won't read about this.
Because if we aren't dropping bombs on someone it just isn't possible for a policy to succeed to the "smart" people in Washington.

no one noticed because republicans are still saber waving and talking war with Iran,  Russia, Ukraine, Hamas, they want according to McCain, to put boots on the ground wherever there is Russian involvement, fat mouthing Putin and the Pres. for a so called weak Pres. he's beat them at their "we're the only one's who can protect you from terrorist" game, he did what they couldn't were they weak?
while all the while using rhetoric that inflames those same terrorist, they root for failure would another attack come under that republican desire?
if we arm others we are by default  challenging the one arming the insurgents.  do we need an armed conflict with Russia or anyone at all?
