WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Barack Obama is crediting his “smart” diplomacy for recent
breakthroughs in the U.S. relationship with Iran.
Obama says a “smart, patient and disciplined approached to the world” has seen results.
Obama spoke from the White House on Sunday, one day after the United Nations certified that Iran had curbed its nuclear program as promised.
The certification triggered the reversal of billions of dollars of international economic sanctions.
Iran
also released four Iranian-Americans for seven Iranians in U.S. prisons
as part of a prisoner swap. A fifth American detained in Iran was also
sent home to the U.S.
Obama says the new approach to Iran helped free the detained Americans.

“Smart” diplomacy always out-trumps any number of “smart” bombs for effective foreign policy.
Right on. I just wonder about Sanders’ ideas on foreign policy… He was a pretty committed socialist in his early days, visiting the Soviet Union and, I think, Chavez’ Venezuela, though I’m not certain about that one. What is he saying about the world NOW?
