The best explanation that I have heard is that the international sanctions coalition was falling apart. International bankers were losing (not making) money because of the embargos. There is just so long that they will tolerate that and we may have seen their patience waning.
If that was the case, the only option left would be to strike a deal that slow rolls the Iranian nuclear program rather than let the sanction coalition fall apart of its own accord. Something is better than nothing.
The fact that Iran's ability to re-enter the arms trade arena was put into the agreement at the last minute suggests to me that this explanation is correct.
After all Germany and France have to make up the $96 Billion that went to Greece from somewhere don't they.
In the end it's always about the money now isn't it.
