ANALYSIS
"Iranians
can expect further rapid economic development in the next few decades,
provided their leaders abide by the agreement. That is good news for
Iranians and for countries selling to Iran. A prosperous Iran
is also good for the entire Middle East. As those who overthrew the
Shah’s dictatorship slowly fade into history, this agreement opens the
prospect that new generations of leaders will build new and productive
relations with their neighbors and with America," writes David Cay
Johnston in Al Jazeera America.
"What is most needed—and most difficult to achieve—is a rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Many of the conflicts in the Middle East have their roots in the
tension between Sunni and Shia Islam. Cooperation between Sunnis and
Shias will be vital to defeat the extremism of the Islamic State, as
well as to bridge gaps between combatants in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and
Lebanon. Iran must demonstrate that it is a responsible player in the
region—not simply a backer of Shia power," writes Javier Solana in Project Syndicate.
"Part
of being a junior ally is knowing when to say, 'Enough, we have made
our case, time to be a team player.' Nothing is more important for
Israel's security than the vitality of its relationship with the United States—which Israel will still need in order to deal with Iran in the future," writes Chuck Freilich in the New York Times. |
