Iran didn't dismantle it's nuclear program, but it wasn't moving it any closer to acquiring a bomb. That was not ideal, but an improvement over them developing a bomb.

Iran also got a huge financial windfall with the unfreezing of its assets. The hope was that this money would be used to raise the Iranian masses out of poverty. Instead, it was used to fund terrorism in the region.
