Bringing Iran to the table. However, many of her peers from other countries and the UN worked to get the sanctions as well as Clinton. Not to mention, getting the sanctions did not guarantee getting a deal. That was a really tough job and MANY people from the various countries played important roles.

From the US, you had Obama willing to put his capital into getting this. As you saw this was major and included fighting AIPAC and Netanyahu. Kerry was the essential diplomat, who put his heart and soul as well as his incredible energy and brilliance as a diplomat into finding solutions each time it was on the verge of failure. You have Moniz who Kerry enlisted to work with him, working with a MIT educated Iranian peer, without whom the extensive monitoring might never have been achieved.

HRC was there at the very beginning, but her debate comment over states her role even on the sanction. She could learn a lot from Obama and Kerry in crediting their peers.
