Iran and major world powers announced a historic nuclear deal this week, bringing an end to long negotiations over the fate of Iran's nuclear program. The deal involved concessions for both the United States and Iran. While many praised the deal, others, including Israel's leader, said it left the world worse off.

Around the globe, cartoonists penned different images, bringing the debate alive through art. The cartoons were as varied as the opinions, with critics for every party involved:
