3. "The framework is aimed at providing Iran the ability to sell it politically to their internal audience." Really?

They're saying Iran's leaders are worried about selling this agreement politically to their internal audience, but didn't Trump tell us Iran's leaders are a bunch of murderous thugs who won't allow political protests, that Iran isn't a democracy, and it doesn't allow any internal political opposition? It seems the only one worried about selling this agreement politically to an internal audience is Trump.
