Prior to this agreement there were only two countries in the ME that have nuclear capabilities. Even though the Nuclear Agreement with Iran states that the Iranian Nuclear program will not have enough uranium or plutonium to arm a weapon will this change the balance of power in the region and or the strength of the United States as viewed by the world?http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/14/politics/iran-nuclear-deal-up-to-speed/

It will create more instability. Iran will pour more money against Israel and Sunni and Shi'ite fighting will get worse. Iran will have more funds to throw into proxy fighters in Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan. Turkey and Egypt will be required to gear up as well, even though they are both largely secular lead governments, they have strong Sunni Islamic leanings.
I think the Sunni and Israeli governments have realized that Obama has no intention of being the stabilizing force in the ME and the world.
When the US creates a power vacuum, Iran and SA will attempt to step up and fill it.

MSgt Mike Mikulski, one wonders if SA and Egypt will team up with Israel to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.

Not odd at all, the Saudi peninsula is being invaded by Iranian backed rebels, in this case the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This is bad news for the world. This will increase instability in the region and start a nuclear arms race among the ME nations, which will ultimately lead to a nuclear exchange. Deterrence does not work against religious fanatics that are willing to commit suicide attacks if it will enable them to kill their enemies.
