Was the Iran nuclear deal worth ignoring Hezbollah's crimes?

This Politico article has been making the rounds recently. It’s a long read, but one that I think is worth it:

“In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.”
“as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.”
