On Thursday night, ABC and NBC cheered the “historic” agreement on the outline of a nuclear deal with Iran as “the United States could be entering a new era in its relationship” with the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism.

Reporting from Lausanne, Switzerland for NBC Nightly News, chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell reflected on the “18 months of tough negotiations” that “end[ed] with an all-nighter” with the possibility that “the United States could be entering a new era in its relationship with Iran and President Obama is telling critics this will make our world safer.”
