They get everything in the "deal"! Including humiliating the US. What more could they want?

Okay, everything that is actually within the US's power to accomplish diplomatically.

disclaimer: I am not on anyone's "side". This is a horrible conflict that needs to stop before it gets worse and escalates to include other countries.

Some of the backlash maybe over feeling the USA is walking away without enough concessions.

A big question is likely along the lines of "Will the USA withdraw military forces from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, plus all of the smaller sites?"

What guarantees that the USA and Israel won't stockpile arms, rebuild a new targets of opportunity list, and resume hostilities at a future date of their convenience?

The new supreme leader of Iran lost his wife of almost 30 years, his father, and I believe another sibling. That's not something that can be easily patched up quickly, even with 300 billion.

Another thing is the hardliners believe that Iran can keep this going plus inflict more damage at the cost of the average Iranian civilian's life... which doesn't seem to be high on their list of concerns.

If you go to the USA's white house government page, and click on the Iran peace deal; if my enemy was posturing like this I would tell them to go fuck themselves. Never mind whatever new shit that idiot is rage tweeting in the middle of the night.
