By now we've heard about Iran's nuclear deal with the US and world powers from plenty of angles. There's the scoop the Onion managed to satirically, then actually, break about the US, Iran and Israel, and there's an American public that's still pretty unsure of the whole thing. 

But by the numbers, there's also a good deal of Americans who don't actually know (or maybe care) about the deal in the first place, according to the Pew Research Center. 

Earlier this week, we told you about the Pew study conducted on some 2,000 Americans over the course of the week following the agreement on July 14. Of those Americans, some 14 percent gave no opinion about the deal, or said they didn't know about it.

Yikes.

Regardless of what you think of the deal, understanding how it happened and what it entails are pretty vital parts of understanding American policy right now. That's why Vox created this handy visualization of the deal just after it passed. 

So, uh, we'll just leave this here.
