2305 students have looked at ideology and how it helps us understand disputes over current events. It's worth considering these differences regarding the nuclear deal.
The simplistic view is that liberals are more likely to opt for diplomatic solutions for international conflicts and to do so in concert with other nations. This is sometimes called multi-lateralism. Conservatives are more likely to opt for the use of the military and to do so alone, even if other nations disagree. This is called unilateralism.
We can see this playing out already in conflict over the relative merits of the recently negotiated deal with Iran. It's a diplomatic solution worked out with other nations. No surprise then that the more liberal party - the Democrats - support it while the Republicans, being more conservative, oppose it.
