Indeed the Bolton thing does not help. One wonders about the timing of this info coming out. However, I may be wrong, but I still believe Some deal is better than No deal. Within reason.

Is the Iran nuclear deal dead? You know it’s a tough spot. Even if we bombed their sites, as some here and Bibi would like, we’d never get everything. And we’d again be opening the gates if hell in retaliation.

Unclear. The Bolton murder plot complicates the matter. I will probably write about it next week. Biden admin might be pulling a ''we saved this deal very last moment thanks to our diplomatic skill'' play.

I imagine the attack on Rushdie will also be problematic in this situation.

Yes. especially amongst the beltway lib/dem establishment. They probably care about Rushdie more than Bolton. Even though that should not be the case: not for individual preferences, but because Bolton was a nat sec advisers, and that is essentially an attack against the US.
