It’s official – there is no Iran nuclear framework deal, just wishful thinking.
Within hours of the White House celebrating a supposed Iran nuclear framework “deal,” it became apparent that the various sides — the U.S., the Iranians and the Europeans — had very different understandings of the deal.
Those competing narratives now have moved to the stage of open declarations by senior Iranian officials that the White House is lying and that key elements in a White House Fact Sheet never were agreed upon and are unacceptable.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has taken to Twitter to call the Obama administration a bunch of untrustworthy liars:

@khamenei_ir
I trust our negotiators but I'm really worried as the other side is into lying & breaching promises; an example was White House fact sheet.
Khamenei.ir
@khamenei_ir
Hours after the #talks, Americans offered a fact sheet that most of it was contrary to what was agreed.They always deceive &breach promises.
TEHRAN — Iran’s supreme leader challenged on Thursday two of the United States’ bedrock principles in the nuclear negotiations, declaring that all economic sanctions would have to be lifted on the day any agreement is signed and that military sites would be strictly off limits to foreign inspectors. The assertions by the leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, could be tactical, intended to give both the negotiators and himself some political space to get hard-liners and others slowly accustomed to the framework of a deal with the United States and other world powers — reached just a week ago — that would guarantee that Iran will not make nuclear weapons. But they also illustrated the difficult hurdles that lie ahead.

Lying has become modis operandi for this administration.
I don't believe anything they say, ever, anymore.
The truth as the OP said is probably somewhere inbetween what Iran says and what Obama says.

The American government routinely violates it's own treaties. It's politicians routinely commit treason. It's all a pile of lies, deceit and betrayal.
Iran is in the cross-hairs of the evil empire. They need nukes for self defense and they know it. In fact everyone knows it. That's why the deal has got to be a sham. The very existence of the Iranian state depends on them acquiring nukes.

State Dept Struggles to Explain Rouhani and Ayatollah Claims US is ‘Lying’ About Iran Deal Facts
State Department spokesperson Jeff Rathke struggled to explain Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei comments that the United States is ‘lying’ about the Iran deal facts.
Rathke said the Iranians did not agree to the U.S. fact sheet.
“No. It wasn’t a negotiated fact sheet,” Rathke said. “That was released by the United States based on–you know, we told them what we were going to, you know, talk about the agreement publicly, but it wasn’t a negotiated document.”
