Reuters: Exclusive: Obama says Iran must halt nuclear work for at least a decade
(Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday that Iran should commit to a verifiable freeze of at least 10 years on its nuclear activity for a landmark atomic deal to be reached, but said the odds were still against sealing a final agreement.
In an interview with Reuters at the White House, Obama said that a rift over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned speech to Congress opposing the Iran deal on Tuesday was a distraction that would not be "permanently destructive" to U.S. Israeli ties.

i.e kick the can down the road.
If they cheat "What difference at that point will it make?"
After all it will take a few years to to catch them cheating & by that time Herr Obama will be out of office.
Some other person will be holding the bag.
