I don't think its that straightforward, the pressure from the Israelis, Sunni Arab states, and the Republicans kind of serve as sort of an international good cop/bad cop play on the negotiations. Certainly its a stronger bargaining position for the rest of the world then simply all falling in lock step behind this deal.
When it comes down to it, its a matter of nuclear compliance, the stronger the controls the more effective a potential agreement would be. I would not be surprised if there was some nudges and winks behind the scenes.
