"there are many ways in which this agreement is worrisome. Kerry and Moniz argue convincingly, however, that the arrangement will stymie Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon in the short term, which is ultimately better than nothing.
But there are holes in the arguments being put forward by Kerry and his colleagues, who appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday. Indeed, Kerry and Moniz wrote that, “If Iran fails to meet its responsibilities, sanctions will snap back into place, and no country can stop that from happening.” But with China and Russia both keen to forge new business relationships with Iran, it’s unclear whether reinstating the current level of sanctions will be possible in the future. And unless the U.S. is able to reimpose sanctions with the support of all its partners in the deal, such a threat will be much less potent."

The US is left with very little recourse and a strong indication that Iran will do exactly what it wants when it wants.
