"Close to Nothing."

This, from Josh Marshall, rings true:

“White House friendly reporters are putting out the administration’s claim that Iran has made ‘verbal commitments’ to basically shutting down or greatly reining in its nuclear program. In other words, Iran has agreed in advance to be super accommodating about agreeing to shutter its nuclear program in these coming negotiations. But that sounds like happy talk. Either BS from the White House or BS from Iran to the White House then passed on to the US press. It’s very hard to see how Iran is going to make major concessions on its nuclear program absent some overwhelming threat of force.

What did the US get out of this? Even on the White House’s own terms? Close to nothing.”
